Hello to all SuSe users,

I installed my Alcatel USB SpeedTouch modem under SuSE8.1 using Benoit Papillaut's open source drivers and everything works fine. I can't, however start the SuSEfirewall2 under SuSE8.1. Any ideas why? 
Note : I am already using the latest version of SuSEfirewall2 which I downloaded via apt-get and I have already read SuSe Support knowledgebasefor Setting up Alcatel SpeedTouch USB DSL Modem. The configSpeedTouch article doesn't apply (IMO) when using using Benoit Papillaut's open source drivers.
   
I am the first person to admit that I don't know what I an doing but the same setup ran just fine under SuSE8. 

I would greatly appreicate it if someone would please tell me how to set up / configure SuSEfirewall2 to work as a workstation with a max. of protection for surfing the Web. TIA

Here's the error message I get when I try starting SuSEfirewall2.
