I have to stop and restart the firewall everytime I connect to my ISP. Since my dialup dies fairly often and has an 8 hour limit where the ISP disconnects me, I have to do this fairly often. I have not been able to figure out the commands to manually do this and have had to do it through Yast, which is annoying. There are so many firewall scripts in the startup stuff that I'm confused. Can anyone give me the commands? -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. BTW: Are you sure that your ISP is the one putting the kibosh on your connection? Kinternet & wvdial are two dialers in which the timeout has to be manually changed.

Yes, I'm using a chat script with no timeouts. It often goes the full 8 hours the ISP allows without dying. Some days it dies often. Thanks! -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

This should be handled by /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down if you're using the SuSE firewall.

I've looked at those scripts and am confused. I use a simple script that calls a chat script to start my connection. ip-up needs to know some info about the connection, like IP that is assigned by the ISP at connect time. Also, is the connections speed the actual speed, or the requested speed? That script confuses me greatly.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. I really don't care to confuse the issue, but... Perhaps you should use wvdial...? I find that one very easy to configure and have a taskbar icon (link) to activate it. The conf file is /etc/wvdial.conf if you want to check it out for yourself. I've been using it instead of kppp or kinternet almost from the word 'go'.

Those scripts should run automatically at connect and disconnect times and really shouldn't need to be messed with. If your firewall is setup properly, it should be started automatically. Since I don't use firewall2 but use shorewall, I can't tell you much more. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Nononono. ip-up is called, automatically, by the pppd daemon. You do not call it yourself. If you want more info, man pppd. Check the advice Togan wrote to you. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
