i would consider putting 2 nic's in the firewall machine and make it the only computer connected to your router
Because I do share the net with a Windows machine :-) Yes, it doesn't really make sense. But this is not about sense but why it doesn't work.
if both computers are connected to the router only the machin where the firewall is running is protected from the internet. the other one has an connection to the router and the inet without a firewall.
or am i completly misunderstanding your setup?
Nope. Absolutely correct. Well, the Windows machine does have the Windows SP2 Firewall installed anyway.
Everything's working find except SMB. SMB isn't working at all if the FW is enabled. AFAIK one port (139?) is only for directory listings or similar but I think the problem is something else but an closed port...
you have services on your firewall machine that you access from the other machine or what?
No. I do have services that I access from the internet. For the LAN SMB is sufficient.
you can ping the firewall computer from the other one?
Sure. And if I shut down SuSEfirewall2 everything works. It must be some stupid FW config mistake I made...
