Is there a possibility to have firewall enabled while on dial-up and dynamic IP is provided by the ISP
Yes, this is perfectly possible. Once you have your firewall rules sorted out, just write a script that will find out your current IP address and insert it in the appropriate places in your firewall rules, then call the script from ip-up.
Hope that helps, Chris </snip>
SuSE has some firewalling scripts in the "firewall.rpm" package. To start the firewall script when connecting, add the line "/sbin/init.d/firewall start" to the /etc/ppp/ip-up file (or /etc/ppp/ip-up.local if it already exists). I've made it the first line. -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@bigfoot.com "My theory's right.
