Hi,
I'm configuring new laptops for my daughters. They're almost ready (except for a dvd-problem, see a thread in this list), but I'm uncertain which firewall-zone I have to put the NIC's in. On my own laptops I put all NIC's in internal zone, but is this safe ? I think mostly it will be, except for hotspots and the like. And on my machine I don't have services running (I chould check though ;-) ), but I don't know what my "customers" will need in the future, and where they will be online.
What's your opinion ?

I think you should put your NIC in the External Zone if you are directly on the Internet. And in the Internal Zone if you have a hardware router/box/Freebox/Livebox : See : http://en.opensuse.org/SuSEfirewall2#Firewall_Zones Dsant, from France -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
