Steve - I found the install and configuration of firewall 2.0 very easy - Marc wrote great ducumentation. But I'm using it on a home network where I'm denying all incoming traffic, and I've disabled all services on the standard ports. I'm providing no external services from my machine or network, so it's pretty simple. I spent some time with v 1.4 and found it more difficult than v 2.0 - Steve --- "Steven T.

Steve,
Wish I could help here. I might try running something which sleeps for a second and then checks the the ipaddress against a stored value. I am just one better than a novice when it comes to this stuff. If I said much more I would probably be doing more harm than good.
You may have inadvertently helped me a lot. I just fetched the firewall 2.0. I spent the last 20 hours on 1.4 and am not quite ready to take on 2.0 Today. Was it easy to configure? Do you have any pointers?

Folks -
I'm running Suse Firewall 2.0 and the roaring-penguin PPPOE client with great success so far. The only difficulty I have is if my dsl connection is lost, pppd restarts it, but I need to restart the firewall after the new ip address is in place. Where should I put the firewall restart call? ip-up? where (I'm a true script novice)? Somewhere else?
(It's nice to know that if the dsl drops and is reestablished the firewall shutsdown everything)
TIA
