Hello to all SuSe users,
I installed my Alcatel USB SpeedTouch modem under SuSE8.1 using Benoit Papillaut's open source drivers and everything works fine. I can't, however start the SuSEfirewall2 under SuSE8.1. Any ideas why? Note : I am already using the latest version of SuSEfirewall2 which I downloaded via apt-get and I have already read SuSe Support knowledgebasefor Setting up Alcatel SpeedTouch USB DSL Modem. The configSpeedTouch article doesn't apply (IMO) when using using Benoit Papillaut's open source drivers.
I am the first person to admit that I don't know what I an doing but the same setup ran just fine under SuSE8.
I would greatly appreicate it if someone would please tell me how to set up / configure SuSEfirewall2 to work as a workstation with a max. of protection for surfing the Web. TIA
Here's the error message I get when I try starting SuSEfirewall2. ----- start of log Starting the firewall *** stdout: ***

What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need.
I had to disable quickmode for my speedtouch to work: in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 FW_QUICKMODE="no" If you wish, I can post my whole conf file. fxf
