This should do it for Linux: export FW=/sbin/iptables for i in filter nat mangle; do $FW -F -t $i; done for i in INPUT OUTPUT FORWARD; do $FW -P $i ACCEPT; done for i in PREROUTING OUTPUT POSTROUTING; do \ $FW -t nat -P $i ACCEPT; done for i in PREROUTING INPUT FORWARD OUTPUT POSTROUTING; do \ $FW -t mangle -P $i ACCEPT; done > It's annoying to turn it off because > I only have one mouse (gave the spares away) and if I move the mouse > from the Linux box Linux stops recognizing the mouse when I replace > it and so I have to reboot. I suggest getting another mouse. You can get a cheap one for less than $10 at many shops. If you are using a PS/2 mouse instead of USB, and it sounds like you are, stop hot swapping it. PS/2 hardware is not hot swappable. On older hardware, you could fry the motherboard doing that. On modern hardware, it usually works, but there is a chance to fry the keyboard or mouse port. Get another mouse, or switch to USB. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
