Re: iptables and apt-get

All is fine now. Adding the line:

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

fixes the problem. Does anyone know what this line does? I found this using
an online script generator at http://www.iptables.1go.dk/index1.php.

Thanks for all your help. This is the sort of thing that this list should be
used for instead of debating what should be on it / other spam :)

If it helps I am going through a proxy to get to the internet.
