Ok great, so now I got the firewall running and want to SSH into my box remotely to continue working on it.
 
i use ifconfig -a to view my network configuration and find my ip address
 
i downloaded PuTTy (a SSH client for windows) and connected to my ip address across the network. 
 
network error!
 
Ok go back and run 'lokkit' and then choose customize and select SSH. do the whole 'iptables-save' routine again and lets try again...
 
w00t.. i'm in like flin! *ekk cant believe i said that*
 
Ok .. Going to assign it a static ip address and then move it out on the internet. Will post that in a few.
