Hi there, i use suse 9.1 on my old laptop to use it as WLAN-Router and isdn dialin server. On the laptop runs a dhpcd and prism-wlan-card is included (through pcmcia). i configured ippp0 as default -route and set dial on demand. My other laptops get their IP-addresses, routers and nameservers from dhpcd-server over wireless lan. I configured a firewall for masquarading (IP-Forward is set), set my internal net to "wlan-....." and the externet network to ippp0. In yast i set "restart firewall" to true in the configuration of my provider. This results in restarting the firewall on every dialin and every shutdown of the isdn-connection. But i get a problem. After shutdown of isdn, the laptops creates a new isdn-connection on demand, but the firewall prevent a connection to the internet and reports "DROP-ILL-TARGET"-Messages. It seems that the IP-adresses of ippp0 had changed an the firewall doesn't know it. I found that the firewall was started in ip-up and ip-down script (ip-down is only a symbolic link to ip-up). I deleted the call to "start_firewall" in the ip-down section. The firewall only restarts on a dialin. Now it works. The firewall doesn't prevent my server to use the new dialin-isdn connection. Is this a error in the scripts? Do i something wrong? best regards Matthias Gottschlich

It's a bug and it's fixed by an updated sysconfig package. Use YaST Online Update regularly. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX AG, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
