Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.4 -isdn internet connection - 2PCs. Home LAN. I am going through a similar problem.
There is an excellent article at the Suse Portal. http://portal.suse.de/en/content.php?3occccccccccccccccccccmcccccccccco cccccccococcccccccccccccccc&content/server/fire2.html#3 Despite this I am still having some problems, see below. After recompiling the kernel for what I thought was Masquerading, I get the following boot message. Any suggestions appreciated. Brian Marr

A quick heads up in the event this applies to you. I am not running 7.2 here. However, I am running 7.1 and kernel 2.4.4 (SuSE). If you are booting a 2.4.x kernel then I'd reccomend using IP TABLES. It's available as a package during installation and ya should be able to install it later via yast (1). Marc has the SuSEFirewall2 package on his page. I belive the url is: http://www.suse.de/~marc/SuSE.html There's a link to it on his page. I can vouch that version 1.0 runs well with SuSE's 2.4.4-4GB kernel. Remember to set the dev_int (usually eth0) and dev_world/ext (usually ppp0 for 56Kbps or ippp0 for ISDN) variables correctly. Enable START_FW2, FW_FORWARD, MAS_NETS, and etc as reccomended in the manual (found in the section "configuring internet". If you do not have the IP TABLES packages installed it will not work correctly. Your client machines should have their "default gateway" set to the IP MasQ machine's internel IP address. Their DNS server entries should be your Service Providers DNS addys as well as the gateway machine. I'm rambling and this email is getting longwinded so I'll close by adding that if ya need further help please feel free to email me directly ambrosius@mailandnews.com) and I'll be happy to provide copies of my firewall configuration, and etc. Ambrosius - -- ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ???????????????????????????????
