Can you perhaps attach this file for review? And which device is your network card?
One suspicion would be you have the external network card on the INTernal interface.
Ciao, Marcus
Hi Marcus, I have a single ethernet card - eth0 - and I have defined it as "external" in yast2 firewall. Attached here is the listing of /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2. I'm going to feel like an idiot if you find something obvious!!! Much thanks for your help and advice. Best regards.

It manages your # upload stream and reserves bandwidth for special packets like # TCP ACK packets or interactive SSH. # It's a list of devices and maximum bandwidth in kbit. # For example, the german TDSL account, provides 128kbit/s upstream # and 768kbit/s downstream. We can only tune the upstream. # # Example: # If you want to tune a 128kbit/s upstream DSL device like german TDSL set # the following values: # FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="dsl0,125" # where dsl0 is your pppoe device and 125 stands for 125kbit/s upstream # # you might wonder why 125kbit/s and not 128kbit/s. Well practically you'll # get a better performance if you keep the value a few percent under your # real maximum upload bandwidth, to prevent the DSL modem from queuing traffic in # it's own buffers because queing is done by us now. # So for a 256kbit upstream # FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="dsl0,250" # might be a better value than "dsl0,256". There is no perfect value for a # special kind of modem. The perfect value depends on what kind of traffic you # have on your line but 5% under your maximum upstream might be a good start. # Everthing else is special fine tuning. # If you want to know more about the technical background, # http://tldp.org/HOWTO/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO/ # is a good start # FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="" ## Type: list(no,drop,reject) ## Default: drop # # 28.) # What to do with IPv6 Packets? # # On older kernels ip6tables was not stateful so it's not possible to implement # the same features as for IPv4 on such machines.
