    I am using the provided F-12 iptables firewall. All I recall
    changing was opening a port for VOIP. This problem has existed since
    I originally installed this version. This is 64 bit while box9 which
    works as expected is 32, other than that they are similar F-12's on
    Dell boxes.

    I installed a gigabit NIC on this box6 and and a new fast switch,
    data transfer is fast but I would like to be able to make it work
    from either end. I have three computers tied together through the
    new switch, one is an NFS server.

    Man iptables says:

        iptables [-t table] {-A|-D} chain rule-specification


    Would this then be the correct command to use?

        iptables -A IPTABLES -I INPUT -i eth0 -s ip.of.box6 -m state
        --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "IPTABLES - NEW PACKETS FROM
        BOX6: " --log-level 6

    Thanks.
