Hi, the SuSEfirewall 4.4 seems to work fine with my dial-up connection. But there are still 2 things bothering me: 1) If I call openports then I get something like "ipchains returns errors, no default route defined?" or something like that. What did I wrong at that point? 2) On my comp I have only the start script phase 1/3 (close fw) installed and the stop script (stop fw), since the start 2/3 and 3/3 always throw 'failed' during booting. -> I still didn't get this: as long as I am not yet dialed-up to my provider, why should I call "SuSEfirewall start", meaning why to run those init scripts 2/3 and 3/3??? => As far as I can see everything works well just with half of the init scripts, because when I dial-up the ip-up script contains the necessary call of the firewall script, doesn't it!?! Please respond if I am wrong about that!
