router (iptables) dhcp, dns and sshd

[allucid]

i have iptables set up using this script. dhcp and dns don't work. i have everything set up manually for now. i also cannot ssh into my router from the internal network when the firewall script is running. i can log in but as soon as i type in my password it drops the ssh connection.

i have tried modifying the script using some examples i found in the forums and then i would restart it but nothing seems to help. anyone have any ideas? i would like to stick with this script but if it is too far over my head i may try and come up with something simpler on my own.

i would really just like ssh to work with the firewall so i can get my other monitor out of the living room.

Post a copy of the actual firewall script that you use, as well as the info about your network so we can take a look at it.

I posted it here since it is too large to post in a message.

The only thing i changed was line 52: INTERNAL_INTERFACES="eth0"

From their installation instructions:

Edit the options at the beginning of the file with your favorite text editor. The script comes pre-configured to deny all incoming connections. This is suitable for a typical workstation installation. Refer to the configuration page for in depth explanation of available options.[/url]

it is setup to allow incoming connections from the internal network (which is what i am trying to do).

however, i have found out their script isn't the problem, something else is wrong with sshd.

i do have dhcp and dns working properly now, though.
