[cobalt-users] PMFirewall and IPChains: Traceroute Stops Working

["Troy Arnold" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all. Thanks to Gerald I got my firewall rules working great on all
subnets except for one problem. Before starting the firewall traceroute runs
fine and resolves the host. When I start the firewall, everything functions
properly (http, ftp, email, etc) except when I run a traceroute it can no
longer find the route to the ip. Trace route stops right before or at my
router. When I went through the install script for pmfirewall I made sure
DNS was open to all on port 53. Is this the issue? Not sure what setting
would cause this problem. Any ideas where to look? Should I post my rules? I
have PortSentry running already and am so close to finishing my ruleset with
IPChains. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
