Hmm, try to check out "/etc/default/avahi-daemon" and "/etc/avahi/*" and see what things you can disable there!

Upgrade to 8.04 otherwise? You should do that anyway

Can I use the live CD to upgrade it or do I have to use the package manager in Ubuntu to do that? (the gui, not apt-get or aptitude, althought those should work too). But when I rebooted in recovery mode, I couldn't use apt-get.... it f'n crashed . Soemthing is obvoiusly wrong with my DHP / IP tables or something.

It's iptables and not avahi-daemon whining about "-j" I think!

Does that help? Can you access it on your computer ?

I guess you can do that, it's probably easier to just download the latest version on CD though and make an upgrade that way?

Ahh, and where do I fix that? And umm, I don't know how to use vim or emacs . I always use a simple gui-base text editor (gedit) to write my code / edit files.

Well, is it doable is what my question is? With the live CD that is...

I have no idea actually, I tried to learn ip-tables 5 years ago or so, managed to do my own firewall/router. But the only thing I remember now is that it was really complicated

Where's iptables located? I cna access my ext3 drive in Winblows but I can't use locate obviously.

LOL

EDIT: I just found this link although I'm still reading it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo

And apparently there is a -j flag:

quote:

-j - Jump to the specified target. By default, iptables allows four targets: * ACCEPT - Accept the packet and stop processing rules in this chain. * REJECT - Reject the packet and notify the sender that we did so, and stop processing rules in this chain. * DROP - Silently ignore the packet, and stop processing rules in this chain. * LOG - Log the packet, and continue processing more rules in this chain. Allows the use of the --log-prefix and --log-level options.

It's look like it's /etc/iptables.rules

Is that it?

EDIT: Fuck! And it's not there
