What relevant differences are there between what SuSEfirewall2 delivers, and your own rules? It would have helped, of course, if you had given us an example or two of traffic that was being dropped.

I have now ditched SuSEfirewall2 and gone back to using my own fw ruleset and now it's up and running. The only problem I got by that is that the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward got set to 0. I checked that boot.ipconfig set it to 1 and even mande an entry in sysctl.conf but something later on in the startup routine still changed it. I ended up having to set it in my fw-script startup.
