I have gone from perplexed to baffled to grimly determined. Having sustained a number of intrusions (all uninvited, including kitting of my Cisco 3640), I want to build a SuSE router with ip-tables. Am having the devil of a time at it. YaST will not support two network cards. Have tried manual configuration with << ip >>, which does recognize the cards ("ip link) as eth0 and eth1, but does not recognize the devices when I reference them from command line as either eth0, eth1, or those names that YaST gives them with the MAC address. Both NICs are internal. Prefer just to have an eth0 and eth1, and someway to force eth0 to load as "external." Does anyone know how to do this? a friend says it is easy in Gentoo. melissa
