Re: [suse-security] PuTTY tells me "Software caused connection abort" if I start the DSL connection.

Hello, so, there is no other way than a serial console? The last installation of the gateway used ipchains... there it was no problem. I want to manually start the dialin, becaus I want to have the control over it. (If I am not at my PC, there is no need for an internet connection) Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I think it must be the firewall who disconnects me, because if I restart the firewall without dialin in, my PuTTY session just hangs about 2 seconds. But if I am dialed in (so my ppp interface is up) and I restart the firewall, the "connection abort" error occours again.

When the firewall restarts all the rules are flushed so your ssh connection can not continue as their is no rule to allow that.

If you want to manually start the dialin process ( why you want it is not clear for my understaning) you may use a serial console access which is not affected by the firewall rules
