Well I must be doing something really wrong because everything that I do with SuSEFirewall2 is just not working!
Hi Chris, visit Togans site at http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/ especially http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/firewall.html for hints and links for SuSEs firewall packages.
Strange enough when wvdial executes it tells me that DNS is not functioning properly since www.suse.com cannot be found
Have you opened "domain" traffic in the firewall setup?
Further on, when I open mIRC or other like programs (winmx etc) from a station, I look at the activity of IPtraf (I check this to see what happens) and I see no connections being created whatsoever....
Have you tried "lynx" or "wget" on the server to see that you internet access works properly?
In addition, is there something that I have to do regarding route or routing??
Doublecheck "IP_FORWARD" in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl
What about the Win9X PCs?? Is there something that I have to do there??
For your clients, use "winipcfg" to make sure your dhcp config puts an "default gateway" entry to the server. No further setup necessary. Peter
