Replying to my own post -- looks like this issue is fixed in a patch now available on YOU. Thanks due to SuSE for fixing it! So, in order to fix a seemingly non-working net connection, you need to connect to the net and run YOU...... ;-) A quote from the notes for the record: sysconfig - The sysconfig scheme This update fix the restart of the firewall after a dialup connection is established. Without this restart, all ports are closed on the dialup interface and the connection seems to be not working. On Monday 10 May 2004 00:46, Jason wrote:
Hi,
I'm having troubles getting networking set up correctly in my fresh new installation of 9.1 -- I had the network functioning fine with 8.2, and I'm sure it wasn't as difficult as this to set up...
I've found if I configure the Firewall for forwarding and masquerading and ssh, while not connected. Subsequently connecting using kinternet or cinternet, access to the internet is blocked. <snip>
