hello,
while it is pretty easy to configure an ADSL/pppoe connection, there is no rules for iptables.

It would have make sense to set up a basic firewall while configuring an adsl connection, would'nt it ?

And furthermore, maybe i'am wrong but when i save my KNOPPIX configuration it does _not_ include the /var/lib/iptables/active and /var/lib/iptables/inactive files. Hey the /var/lib/iptables dir does not even exist by default. You have to create it !!

for example
Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.2.9 on Fri Feb 20 14:00:16 2004
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [474:71447]
:firewall - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j firewall
-A firewall -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A firewall -i ! ppp0 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
-A firewall -j DROP
