Now, I'm trying to setup my laptop to access the mail server, but instead of using an IP, I want to use a MAC address. Why? Because I'm on the go and I can't always know what IP address I'm going to have and I don't want to leave that port wide open all the time.
So, what entry do I make in my SuSEfirewall.conf so that my laptop's MAC address will be allowed through????
Nothing if I understand you correctly, as MAC Addresses will change as your packet travels from one router to another one. Using MAC address is an option when you have it on your LOCAL LAN and the laptop is connected to the gateway (or the firewall machine)
your best bet is VPN or ssh as I see it
I can't get the VPN to work for the life of me. I just don't get it. As far as ssh, how can I use that with email? Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
