<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hello, guys!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> First, thanks Costa for all your
work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My Linux gateway have 2 NIC,
external and internal, as usual.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Second: I have an "easy problem"
to solve, but it's not working. I want to stop irc conversation, and for so I'm
using the following syntax in my internal NIC:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> server irc
drop</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> But for what I do remember, I
don't need to explicitly close any port, just don't create a "accept rule",
ok?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Even creating this "denying
rule", irc is still allowed. Someone could help me?</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks for any
help.</FONT></DIV>
