Hi Guys, In YAST2 >Security & Users >Firewall Configuration the panel asks for the 'external interface' and offers 'eth0' but warns that DSL is usually ppp0. However I have an external SMC Broadband (DSL) router that handles the PPPoE logon and handshaking, and it server DHCP IPAddr assignment. So should I choose 'eth0' or 'ppp0'? Thanks ................
