Re: [suse-security] Re: Transition problem from Firewall->Firewall2

Hi, check incomming UDP high Ports. There is a new Parameter since 8.2. Check Logfiles. Mail them here. Greetings Dirk Chris Bek schrieb:

Yes. If I turn the firewall off, it works just fine. Please note though, that I do not have a DNS server running on my machine.

Hi,

Does DNS work when firewall is turned off?

Hi all,

I was using SuSE7.2 untill recently when I changed my Hard Drive and I installed 8.1. This PC is a Samba/Gateway machine for 3 others (running Win9X). The problem is that although I kept all the ports and parameters that the old firwall used to run and retyped them in the new SuSEFirewall2 edition, the direct masquerading that used to work, doesn't any more. I have made sure that I have configured the Network Card with enabling the IP Forwarding. When I enter them and enable the firewall (rcSuSEfireall2 start at prompt) all looks to work including Samba and DHCP. However when I type wvdial to enter the internet, wvdial replies with something like DNS not working and , cannot resolve DNS etc ( my apologies I am not at the machine right now).

Can someone please give me a hand with this? The installation of SuSE8.1 is out of the box.

Thanx friends. Chris
