I have 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 connected to a wired router. 192.168.1.10 can ping and ssh 192.168.1.11, but 192.168.1.11 can't ping or ssh 192.168.1.10. Both systems can reach the internet. I've disabled the router's firewall and the firewall running on both systems. ifconfig confirms the IP address of both systems. Both systems are composed of identical hardware and both run Gentoo with near-identical configurations.

I'm puzzled. Any ideas why can't 192.168.1.11 can't reach 192.168.1.10?

I fixed it by enabling the firewall (shorewall) on 192.168.1.10 and configuring it to let 192.168.1.11 in. Why doesn't it work with the firewall disabled?

We would need to see the applicable filter rules to answer that question. Please place it back in a broken state and post the output of iptables-save -c.

I'm sorry for the delay with this. This is what I get after '/etc/init.d/shorewall stop':

I thought the firewall would stop functioning after a '/etc/init.d/shorewall stop', but maybe there is some residual stuff left in iptables?

If it does, you can use
Code:
iptables -F
to flush the rules.

Also, if you use shorewall and issue a shorewall stop command, it will not operate as a system without firewall because shorewall will p. ex. implement the routestopped config file. This might not contain the same routings as you would have without firewall.

input policy is still set to DROP, which is which you have this problem. You can set it to ACCEPT with
Code:
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
and should probably report that to the shorewall maintainers?

Without modifying /etc/init.d/shorewall, can I have the firewall become totally inactive when '/etc/init.d/shorewall stop' is issued?

Can anyone confirm that I should file a Gentoo bug for this?
