I installed the firewall package from the 6.3CD over teh weekend. I'm not sure if it works. HTTP works fine, however this is going through the squid proxy which has been performing flawlessly. I cannot however go outside on teh net, via, ping, tracerout, ftp or anything else. I have my local network as a trusted network and my machine has access to everything. when I ping say www.linux.org it resolves the domain name (i am guessing through squid not sure.) but it says address unreachable. the address range for my local net is 192.168.0.0 and my Inet address is assigned dynamically by my IP. I'm also using a dial up. any ideas ?? Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

The firewall package from the SuSE 6.3 CD's didn't work. If i remember correctly this was because some important links were missing in the rpm. I downloaded the bugfixed version and my problems were solved.

My advice is don't use the SuSE firewall setup. I spent a day trying to get it to work and everytime I started the firewall I couldn't connect.
So in rc.config: START_FW="no">
I have SuSE 6.3 and i'm in teh process of setting up a firewall. thus far I have been using HOT-TO, which basicaly tell you hwo to use IP chains, I have not seen any entry for START_FW="no" i m assuming thats a 6.4 thing. can anyone clarrify. perhaps point me in the right direction
