Hi again,

Sorry for being a pest but im still having problems with the firewall being flooded. this time its UDP port 65103 (hundreds of em)

ive tried your suggestion:

Code:

# Flush Custom Input Rules
/sbin/iptables -F CUSTOMINPUT

#drop SNMP packets
/sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -i $RED_DEV -p udp --dport 162 -j DROP

replacing port 162 with 65103, but get error:

Warning: wierd character in interface `-p' (No aliases, :, ! or *).
Bad argument `udp'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

for a test i inputted into console dropping /sbin/ before modifying the rc.local

iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -i $RED_DEV -p udp --dport 65103 -j DROP

any ideas? I think that this flooding is crashing an access point on the LAN side of the firewall (only thing attached), it works fine for up to 48 hours the dies, only a reboot gets it working again.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Add the following code after the line containing "#!/bin/sh" (I'm surprised the SNMP blocking code I gave you earlier actually worked - my mistake):
[code:1]. /var/ipcop/ethernet/settings[/code:1]

All the above does is define several variables including $RED_DEV.

Thanks again (this is getting a habit :lol: )

You were right, i checked the original firewall and the SMTP were still pounding through!

Now added the extra line and looking good so far!

Cheers
