[Mono-dev] iptables possible log4net issue?

[Carlos Solorzano]

I have a bit of code working on Linux for a while now, it all uses  
log4net.
We made a DROP everything unless specified firewall with iptables,  
and all my programs quit working, I notice they would quit responding  
on the first call where log4net is configured.
I then ran:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

Now my programs are working again, any ideas why that might be?

I also ran programs without log4net and they seemed to run just fine.  
It could be that log4net was waiting for something to timeout, I  
didn't leave it running long enough maybe.
