Seems that shorewall has taken over my iptables in linux, as a result its blocking all icmp packets and blocking netbios sessions.

It also seems I may have more then one iptables files,

How can I tell which iptables is active, and how would I go abouts telling shorewall not to manage my ip tables?

Im realy new to this and have done google searching first, I find many resources on iptables, but non seem to resolve my issues.

if /sbin/iptables is the active one since it seems this is being controlled by shorewall, it had made too many unwanted changes, and I don't know enough to get my iptables back to the way it was.

Seems shorewall took over when I went into webmin last night.

Any guidence or help is apreciated.
