Ubuntu
iptables package

Internet browser works only by flushing iptables every 2~3 minutes

Asked by Reprezenta

For some reason, if I want to browse the internet, my browser (Seamonkey, Chrome) can't establish a connection unless I enter the following in a terminal as superuser: iptables -F

I need to repeat this every few minutes to keep browsing. What should I do here? Thanks.

Have you defined any iptables rules yourself?

No, I have not defined any rules myself. This has started happening since upgrading to 12.10.

Patched the script, try this :
wget http://billkd.deaddogcafe.ch/iptables-flusher
chmod +x iptables-flusher
sudo bash iptables-flusher

Can you help with this problem?
