briefly turn the firewall off, then try again to truly determine it is the firewall. If YM still does not work, then it is not the firewall. IF YM works, then it is probably your firewall. In which caase, you probably need to open a range of ports or something. LDB

AFAIR there is an option test (/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 test) that turns off blocking but logs what would be blocked

Or tell it to log everything that is blocked, important or not: FW_LOG_DROP_ALL="yes" - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEhDhktTMYHG2NR9URAoX+AKCVs+ZLk+PVxp8dvs/TxQCC2UPxIQCfQc2G CS1l9KrY/DVHFC63FqgWDSM= =ujo3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
