I have to stop and restart the firewall everytime I connect to my ISP. Since my dialup dies fairly often and has an 8 hour limit where the ISP disconnects me, I have to do this fairly often.
I have not been able to figure out the commands to manually do this and have had to do it through Yast, which is annoying. There are so many firewall scripts in the startup stuff that I'm confused.
Can anyone give me the commands?
This should be handled by /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down if you're using the SuSE firewall.
I've looked at those scripts and am confused. I use a simple script that calls a chat script to start my connection. ip-up needs to know some info about the connection, like IP that is assigned by the ISP at connect time. Also, is the connections speed the actual speed, or the requested speed?
That script confuses me greatly.
Thanks,

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. I really don't care to confuse the issue, but... Perhaps you should use wvdial...? I find that one very easy to configure and have a taskbar icon (link) to activate it. The conf file is /etc/wvdial.conf if you want to check it out for yourself. I've been using it instead of kppp or kinternet almost from the word 'go'.
