Hi Andre,
My problem is when my server restarts and I dial in nothing works, then I must first restart my firewall with /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 stop & /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 start wile online (dialed in) then only can I talk to the other PC's on my LAN.
What I need to know is, can I automate this or better prevent in ? In your case, I'd simply edit the dial-in script (if it's a script and not a single command) and put the command to shut down the firewall in the beginning of the script and the command to start it up in the end. Or make a script like this and execute it:
#!/bin/bash /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 stop <original dial-in command or script> /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 start If you dial in at startup, you can put this script into the rc directory and create a symbolic link in the appropriate runlevel directory. But then you have to modify this script as these rc scripts are always called with some parameter (start, stop...). Should also work without modifying (i.e. without parameter), simply try it out.
