ok. i finally found sometime to fix up my home network! as of this posting, i'm writing this on my imac which is connected to my gentoo box. my gentoo box provided local dhcp, masq, and firewall features.
everything ought to work.
but somehow... software like itunes, and system update won't work. heck, just pointing my browser to www.apple.com i get a dead link. as do mac dev center and many other sites.
i just don't know why. and still tracing the problem through my logs. could it be that these services use a different port? because my firewall blocks all other ports except ones that i allow of course. or something else?
i dunno. but i'll try to figure it out soon.
