hello there,
i have arch running as my work computer and our internet router.
i have another computer running ubuntu that gets the internet from this one.
but heres the deal, i have firestarter installed, but if i reboot the arch computer, it does not allow internet connection sharing or even the connection until i manually start up firestarter.
do i have it out of order in my rc conf? here is what it looks like.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug adsl hal network portmap mountd nfslock nfsd iptables crond alsa firestarter httpd mysqld sshd)
i am desiring to have it mount a shared on startup, but of course it cannot mount it without allowing it to connect .
i have a shared folder on this computer that i back up my family computer /home/fam directory to. and i want to have a share on that one that i can back up my home folder and website on this one to. Or is there a better way to do this ?
thanks much

firestarter takes care of starting iptables, so you don't need to have both in there.
also firestarter needs to be listed BEFORE network.
here's my daemons line :
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng firestarter network netfs dbus crond hal alsa cups vmware)
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

ok, well i moved firestarter to right in front of network, and removed ip tables from the rc.conf DAEMONS array. Reboot and its still the same way. Can you think of something else i am missing ?
thanks for the tip btw. i like having one less item in the list.

Have you checked this ?
Firestarter Internet connection sharing
Sidenote : in my experience using a physical NAT/NAPT router is a lot easier than setting up ICS.
(It doesn't seem to matter if you do it with M$ or linux)

good read, i have it bookmarked, thanks.
i may set up a physical nat at some point. But the irritation i have only involves me having to start firestarter after a reboot (happens less than once/week)
thanks much
