I have checked the log file, and for the connections from the local network ie 192.168.1.3 trying to start Xwin, the entry in the log file is UNAUTHORIZED. I can run telnet sessions ok, and the Internet on the PC's is ok (using the linux box as the DNS server). But if I try to start Xwin (Xwin -query MyLinuxBox) Xwin starts but no login, if I stop the firewall it works great?. Also in the /etc/host file I have inserted entries for each pc ( it wont work without these entries even with the firewall off): 192.168.1.3 host3 192.168.1.4 host4 and so on. Up to now I have run this network for about 10 years using SCO (up to 5.0.4), I changed to SuSE version 8 about a year ago, and I have a full range of class "C" addresses, but now "IT" services want them back, but said that I could keep one; so I have to try and get IP Masquerading to work. If I switch off the firewall I loose the ability for the local PC's to obtain an internet connection. This driving me crazy.

Sorry I meant to say that every time I startup the firewall I cant run Xwin (via Cygwin)
Look up in the firewall log what packets are being rejected.
