I have successfully configured the firewall (using YAST of course) on SLES8 AND SLES9 for a year now with now problems. I am testing a new web application server running Tomcat and cannot get it to consistently accept traffic on either port 8080 or port 80 (HTTP traffic, that is). I have checked that http traffic (port 80) and port 8080 should be allowed. Here are the messages I am seeing in the log when I try to connect.

Any ideas on why this is? Thank you - Richard
