Hi all, Yesterday, I gave up my initial connection setup for adsl and went over to rp-ppoe adsl connection package. ( because of adsl status.) The SuSE firewall was configured with internet interface = ethO ( which is ,I suppose, still eth0 through pppO )and came up at boot. What I observ now, is : a. I stop the firewall; b. do one ipchain instruction ( ipchains -A fwd -s ..... -b -j MASQ ) to mask my internal net; an then the connection to the internet blocks after some time (30 min ) So my questions are : 1. Is there some timing, relaunching the firewall? ( because to reconnect to internet I restop the firewall and redo ipchains ) 2. What do I have to change in my firewall settings ? eth0 in ppp0 or having them both. Attached is the config file firewall.rc.config thanks in advance, Filip
