Hello, I was hoping to work this out on my own but it's been hours and I've gotten nowhere. I just upgraded from a previous version of Marc's firewall2 to the latest one. With the previous firewall2, everything was fine and I was using squid and junkbuster together with the firewall. I am on a 56k dialup and use squid to speed up my own web browsing. I offer no external services at all. I have tried to figure out why this updated firewall isn't working for me, but I really don't understand it. The symptoms are: When I first boot up and dial up to browse the web, I can browse freely using squid and junkbuster. However, the second time I dial up and any time after that, I cannot go anywhere. The browser just keeps looking until it has timed out. I wonder if this has anything to do with the DNS lookup, although I really don't know how to check this. ANY help and advice would be much appreciated. Any settings in the YAST or the firewall config file would be great. Thank you Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org
