I have recently installed SuSE Linux 8.1 on an "old" computer to run as a Windows (and Linux) File- and Print-Server and to have access to the internet (ISDN card on server: no!!! dial on demand).
Everything (samba, squid, bind9, ssh) seems to work correctly without the firewall running. But when the firewall is started, only working with ssh is possible.
Please be a bit more verbose. Are you getting error messages when using squid for example? ( Those "Internet Explorer" error messages are often misleading. I disable them, if someone here has problems. )
Is there a problem with the kind of internet connection I use (manual dialing)?
Yes, it's most likely that the problem you're experiencing are connected to the manual setting.
Are all neccessary ports accessible from the clients (especially the samba ports)?
Looks ok. I think Samba also uses Boradcasts, so check that those are allowed. Peter
