Well things have gone better this time, the SuSEfirewall2 seams to be up and running and I can access we,mail and news from my linux box, and I can access my linux box on the required ports from the internet.
The only thing is, masquarading is not working from my Windows box. I can access my Linux box via 'internal' IP addresses, but external ones are not being forwarded.
I don't think masqurading is the problem this time.

SPT-source port is 1033, DPT-destination port is 1900, UDP protocol. Have you opened UDP port 1900 on your internal interface?
eth0 is my internal ethernet card 192.168.110.3 is my Windows box 192.168.110.2 is my Linux box
HTH. You can always see which ports are being blocked, decide if they should be or not, then edit /etc/rc.config.d/firewall2.rc.config to open them. Then, SuSEfirewall2 restart (or was it stop, then start?). -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
