Traceroute gives me a very similar output, so it is connecting to the 
server at the 12th hop (for some reason, I can't copy/paste the output 
into Mozilla...)

I'm running ManDrake 8.2, and installed Shorewall from a mag's cd.  I've 
been unable to find a config utility - either system or Shorewall's own 
- to config it, and balked at the thought of doing so file by file
