Hello All, I am having a big problem with the Java IDE Eclipse - both with the version packed with SuSE 9.0 Pro and with latest 3.0 Milestone.I am posting this message to this particular list because the problem is actually a SuSE Firewall config problem.When starting a debug session with the firewall NOT running everything works fine.However when the firewall is up the first time I run the debugger it displays a "Finding free socket .... 66%" message and looks dead for the next 15 minutes.Eventually it connects and works properly.The next time I start the debugger in the same eclipse session it connects immediately , no waiting.I suspect Eclipse is doing some sort of port-probing to find out where the java remote debugging infrastructure is listening for connections and the firewall is making this scan a VERY slow process.I have experimented with different firewall configs , but no effect.Since localhost is scanning itself this can not be considered an attack.My exact question is : How do it tell the firewall to allow localhost to do ANYTHING with itself and other hosts , ie how do disable any processing on packets comming from localhost. Thanks in advance , I am really desperate. Ivan Yosifov.
