Gang, I just attempted to upgrade my firewall / proxy server from 7.1 to 7.3, and fscked it up - as every upgrade on THAT particular box (Old COMPAQ Prosignia 300 P75 has done)..... Full re-install from scratch (repartition, format, install minimal stuff, etc). Activated the SuSEFirewall2 program, and it appears to work, but I can get no DNS requests through the firewall. I don't want to run a caching DNS server (yet), and my main priority is getting my POP3 email downloaded (over 1K messages waiting for me.,..:-) Anyone have a quick and/or dirty fix for me ? Maybe a sample firewall2.rc.config file ? I'm not worried about security AT THIS POINT, although I will harden it up later...
