Re: [cobalt-users] Help on Qube 3 firewall setup

[milend <milend@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,
Thank you for the link you sent me!
I read the Qube 3 How-to and also Cube 3 User manual.
But I do not have much experience with firewalls and I could not figure out
how to solve my problem.

As far as I understand I can create Input rules only if I need to 
restrict the access
to our LAN from outside. I do not have to specify Output rules if I want 
all computers
in our LAN to have access to Internet.
So, I do not have any input/output rules and still I can not access the 
web server
running in out LAN.
Even when the basic firewall is off I can't access the website.

Do I need to have some other products installed?
Or just change of firewall configuration is enough? If so what do I need 
to change
in order to make the web server accessible for the outside world?
