EDIT: 21MAY05 It is best to download latest Mandrake rpm Guarddog from author
on page http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/#download
http://www.simonzone.com/software/mdkrpm/g...0-2mdk.i586.rpm
and install it by clicking on it, then start it (from menu,system,configuration,guarddog) and set your parameters - only then are you protected.
.
Ignore the patch below. (it is still needed if you get guarddog from Mandriva easyurpmi)

a note on guard dog - MDK10.2, MDK2005LE and after - don't forget - after you have installed guarddog and set up the parameters the way you want them,
run
as a ROOT SHELL

otherwise it won't activate on reboot. guarddog prob. Code from Rolf Pederson.

I have never had this kind of problem with guarddog.

Mandrake 10.1
guarddog-2.4.0-2mdk

It's a 10.2 / MDK2005LE and after problem. I changed the original note. Thanks.

AAAhhhhhh......I thought maybe I was missing something!

I upgraded from guarddog 2.4 to 2.5 recently and I got a similar problem.
I got both rpm packages from the author's website and I have Mdv2007.

All outgoing connections will work but the ports I opened on my machine don't work when I start the ADSL connection. After the adsl connection is up, I have to start guarddog and press the "apply" button before these ports will work. I use rp-pppoe to start my adsl connection.
This was not a problem at all in 10.1

The two symlinks kristi mentioned in the previous reply are all present on my machine and point to the correct destination.
Any ideas?
