I forgot I also had to use the following as well echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn Iain McMillan
I have the same problem.
I have traced it to a routing problem, try the following
route del default route add default netmask 0 ppp0
with any luck your network connection should now be working.

Thanks,
but the problem exists even without the firewall...
I have a connection: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:196.168.55.200 P-t-P:192.168.55.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:21 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:62 (62.0 b) TX bytes:1490 (1.4 Kb)
and a ping gets send but never comes back.
The same scritp worked fine under 8.0. Do you have an idea where I can start checking?

How can I make sure that everything works, without a firewall? = How do I switch all this stuff down. I tried it but something seems to bolck me recieving data, though emailing works fine.
This is my understanding of the firewall on-off procedure. 1. If SuSEfirewall2 is installed, it takes precedence over the personal-firewall. 2. If you have firewall2 starting at boot, you should do a "SuSEfirewall2 stop" to disable it. Verify by doing "SuSEfirewall2 status" before and after "stop". 3. Rename /etc/ip-up to ip-up.bak. When pppd is started, ip-up will try to start the firewall, even if you ran "stop" earlier. 4. Now dialup. The firewall is not protecting ppp0. 5. If your problem is fixed, it's either the firewall configuration, or something else to do with the firewall. If your problem remains the same, it's not the firewall.
