Hi Klaus, you need to install iptables. Should be easy enough to find via YaST. SuSEfirewall2 obviously asks for it (I dont use it so I am guessing here but it is quite obvious since it tells you it cant find it :-) HTH, Erwin --- Klaus Riggart wrote:
hi folks, im using suse prof 7.2. as a first step i want the linuxbox turn into a firewall which protects and masquerades my private lan and forwards http-requests to my internal webserver. running susefirewall i always got Warning: FTP/IRC/Realaudio etc. masquerading does not work with ipchains and the 2.4 kernel. Either move to a stable 2.2 kernel or use SuSEfirewall2! but masquerading partially worked (internal workstations came successfully through the firewall). external web-requests did not come through the firewall although FW_FORWARD_MASQ was enabled. so i downloaded, installed and configured susefirewall2-2.0 from marcs site. now it says /sbin/SuSEfirewall2: /usr/sbin/iptables: No such file or directory a hundred times. no routing/masquerading at all! i seem to miss a little thing. please help, i'm getting mad on this! many thanx in advance!
