ReHi folks, the Script you've to download is on that page: http://www.suse.de/~marc/SuSE.html You've to download the SuSEfirewall v4.6 - 29th April 2001 <SuSEfirewall-4.6.tar.gz> Script unless you want to work with iptables (I think so...). In my Opinion the failures are a result of the bootup sequence, means that the fw-script (or parts of it) is loaded BEFORE the devices (eth0, ippp0 etc.) have been initialized! Maybe you've to make new symbolic links! Instead of "S01SuSEfirewall....." try "S25SuSEfirewall" or something like that! But remember that there's no protection between initializing the devices and loading the script! I prefer downloading the newest Script! Maybe some people have to deinstall the old Script (but the new script will do that, won't it?). I'm sure it works, I've spent some days before I got rid of that problem! If you can't get rid of it, try the "ipchains -L" command, to see if the rules have been set correctly! Bye, Mario PS: Sorry because of my bad english!
