Timing Shorewall's startup



My home network server is also the gateway to the internet.

I have configured /etc/default/shorewall to wait for the ppp-interface (adsl) before it starts.

Sometimes the server boots and shorewall does not run at all.

It seems that the wait_interface="ppp0" setting in /etc/default/shorewall does not do the job properly.

How can I ensure that shorewall starts properly.  When I am at home I can correct this but sometime my other family members wants to use the internet, switch on the server and when shorewall is not running properly, they cannot access the internet.

Regards
Johann
