hi list... i have recently installed SuSE Linux 8.0 Pro, and everything seems to be working fine except for the network... i setup some IPChains scripts that i have been using for a long time on my other SuSE 7.2 Pro servers, and they seem to be taken by 8.0 with no problem.. but running them causes the machine not to talk to the network... disabling the IPChains gets the network back, but routing or DNS, or both don't work at all... i can't resolve any names.... i did some looking around and discovered that 8.0 is heavy on IPv6... IPv6 was running ontop of IPv4 and along IPv4 on the network interface and various other apps ... i disabled the ipv6.o module from loading in /etc/modules.conf, and the interface is now talking only INET, and not INET6 .. but i still can't route or resolve, or get network access with the IPChains loaded.. any ideas...?.. i am running kernel 2.2.19-162 .. many thanks..
