Hi! I encountered the following problem with the SuSEfirewall-skript: First of all, my configuration: I've got a Linux Box (SuSE 6.4) running as a DSL-Router (incl. Masquerading) for an internal Network. The firewall-skript (which Version doesn't really matter, I've tried out several versions, including the newest form Marc's Website) is installed on that Linux-Box. The Problem: HTTP & SSH are working well but when I try to connect to a Internet-Server via FTP, POP(sometimes) or SMTP it takes a long time (ca. 20sec) until data is transferred although the connection itself is established immediately. I do not think that it is a DNS problem, reverse&forward lookups are working well. Although I think that it has nothing to do with masquerading because if I work on the server console, the problem also occurs. If I shut down the firewall, everything is working fine! I hope somebody can help me an that this is not a FAQ ;-) bye Christian Bohn
