i have a SuSE 8.0 pro set up on a machine to do masquerading. I share a cable modem internet connection with a windows 2000 machine.
The ip masq has worked up until I moved and got my computers set up again. SuSEFirewall2 seems to freeze up the computer during boot if it has gotten a valid ip address for eth0 from the dhcp server.
I have the same ISP. The only thing that has changed is the external ip address and the type of cable modem i am using. I am not sure if an update changed something....
If I disable masquerading in the Firewall wizard, the firewall restarts fine but when I enable it again, it hangs.
I am using 10.0.0.x for my internal ips on eth1 and on my win2k.
Any ideas?
One thing I noticed when I upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0 was that in 7.3 the ethernet cards were easier to set as eth0 and eth1. Whichever one I set as eth0 in the Yast setup remained eth0, and the same for eth1. In the 8.0 set, I could identify one card as eth0 and the other as eth1 and it would work just fine until a reboot, when the machine would identify the cards in the opposite order that I had configured them. Perhaps this has happened to you. Try reconfiguring the cards as the opposite card in Yast and see what happens (or maybe you have the cables in the wrong way.) -- Registered Linux user #304026.
