When I bring use rcnetwork restart, I get this error message: WARNING: Error inserting ipfwadm (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko ): Device or resource busy Turn off the firewall while testing. This module pertains to the firewall and the only information file I can find on SUSE 9.1 is in German.
ipfwadm (IP FireWall ADMinistration) is/was the firewall module in 2.2 kernel or earlier. It is probably trying to grab the firewall hooks/resources after the newer firewall module is loaded. The progression is ipfwadm, ipchains, iptables. If you intended to ipfwadm, it is time to upgrade. HTH, Jeffrey
