iptables help

Hi there,

I got a funny situation when using iptables. Start with a clean sheet:
# iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

I'm adding INPUT ACCEPT's for loopback, local interface, local
machines and the machine I'm connection from:
# iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -s x.com -d y.com -j ACCEPT
# iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- 192.168.1.0/24 anywhere
ACCEPT all -- x.com y.com

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

And, I'm setting the INPUT policy to DROP:
# iptables -P INPUT DROP

Now if I try a
# iptables --list
the output comes one line at a time and with big delays.

Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Paul
