lostn1slinux · 12-02-2005, 05:26 AM

i want to install a secondary firewall to augment the Standardfirewall that come with Suse 10.0. Is there any suggestions that you would have that work with my distro?

Dont use telnet, its insecure. Use SSH. There ain't much to say, just doublecheck your configuration and verify that it works with the firewall off.

my telnet connection does work with the firewall disabled, when i enabled it again the connection to the internet seemed to do the same thing that telnet had done before, checked the config and everything was correct. maybe it's one of thos GOK things

If anyone could point me to a tutoil I'd be so gratefull. I have the same problem, I can't use the net with it on. I have a lot but not all of things checked. Ideas?
