THE PROBLEM is that the firewall gets only started with the ip-up script which is executed by wvdial BUT NOT by kppp, since kppp manages everything itself. If I want to call SuSEfirewall as a normal user it doesn't work, of course... aeh? tell me if i'm wrong but the ip-up script is called by the pppd? i dont know much about kppp but i think it's only a gui for pppd nor? If not maybe you can configure kppp to start the ip-up script after connect?
From my experiments in 1) I concluded that the firewall startup-scripts only work if a connection via, say, ppp was already established. So what about my dial-up connection. I boot my machine and during that process the firewall starts to build-up, BUT since I am not connected yet, since I only want to surf or read emails for a short time, the firewall isn't properly installed... sounds like a hostlookup problem for me? maybe you've entered some hostnames (mailserver from your isp?) and these canot resolved without a ppp connection.
