Re: iptables ceases to work after night

[Pascal Vilarem <pascal.vilarem@9online.fr>]

what does iptables-save returns on the morning ?

is it different from what it returns when forwarding is ok ?

if you find differences... there is something to find that alter 
netfilter config
(a firewall script ? something like an iptables-restore script ?)

if you don't find differences :

check to see if resetting netfiler and giving again the config is enough...
if yes... i'd suggest to update netfilter an perhaps the kernel...

stop netfilter and check if something can go through your netcard...
if no... i'd suggest to check the driver of the netcard... and perhaps 
the netcard itself.

hope this can help,
Pascal
