Many thanks for your reply. The forum is http://www.amphot.co.uk . I've
spoken to site Admin and he set up a Mandrake 10.1 box, tried the website
and got on ok aparently.

Im pretty sure the firewall is Shorewall, as you say. I take it the 'service
shorewall stop' will halt the whole firewall. I'll do that as a test but if
I do it regular won't the machine be vulnerable, or do you think I'll be
safe enough just disabling it every time I visit the forum?
