Re: [SLE] Cygwin Xwin blocked by Firewall
I have checked the log file, and for the connections from the local network ie 192.168.1.3 trying to start Xwin, the entry in the log file is UNAUTHORIZED. I can run telnet sessions ok, and the Internet on the PC's is ok (using the linux box as the DNS server). But if I try to start Xwin (Xwin -query MyLinuxBox) Xwin starts but no login, if I stop the firewall it works great?. Also in the /etc/host file I have inserted entries for each pc ( it wont work without these entries even with the firewall off): 192.168.1.3 host3 192.168.1.4 host4 and so on. Up to now I have run this network for about 10 years using SCO (up to 5.0.4), I changed to SuSE version 8 about a year ago, and I have a full range of class "C" addresses, but now "IT" services want them back, but said that I could keep one; so I have to try and get IP Masquerading to work. If I switch off the firewall I loose the ability for the local PC's to obtain an internet connection. This driving me crazy.

Sorry I meant to say that every time I startup the firewall I cant run Xwin (via Cygwin)
Look up in the firewall log what packets are being rejected.

You could have posted one of those lines. Ok, just notice wich port is the incoming conection coming and failing, and open it on the firewall. Also, there is a nice susefirewall faq/doc on the unofficial suse faq from this list that you could read. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
