I am trying to share the internet connection from my linux box to the other PCs on the network. I have no reason to have a firewall since this machine dials in check e-mail and dials out immediately. Can someone please help me with this one? Masquerading perhaps?? You can use suse firewall2 to achive this. It's silly to say that you don't need a firewall. Although it is not (yet) so bad with linux, an unprotected windows machine is infected with blaster within 5 minutes on the internet. NEVER say that you don't need a firewall (except if you have NO port open, not even ssh)
PS: SuSE 8.1 out of the box No updates?! PLEASE update your box using YOU or fou4s (fou4s.gaugusch.at)!
