Hi all, when my old ne2000 on the ipfwadm-configured gateway (5.3)packed in, i thought it was a good time to upgrade to 6.1 and better hardware. however 'ipfwadm' refused to work with 6.1 telling me 'service not available' and the 'file not found', even though ipfwadm had been installed by default. i doctored around the kernel a bit , but no change. anybody encountered that problem ? best dan

AFAIK SuSE 6.1 uses the Linux 2.2 series of kernels. Under these ipfwadm is obselete, you should use ipchains instead. Check /usr/doc/ipchains-x.x.x HTH Lee. -- I was doing object-oriented assembly at 1 year old ... For some reason my mom insists on calling it "Playing with blocks"
