Hi Dave!

One likely reason for this behaviour is that the firewall rules are
not reloaded after your dynamic IP has been assigned. Manually do a
"/sbin/SuSEfirewall2" (or similiar, don't know where the script is
located on SuSE 7.3) _after_ you have dialled in. If that solves the
problem, find a way to automatically reload the rules every time you
get a new IP address (look in /etc/ppp/ip-up on how to do this).

Regards, Andy
