You should really have a separate firewall. Most people do it that way. Either a router or something like IP Cop. Firewalls on workstations are easily hacked :)

I haven't got the luxury of having a separate machine just for a firewall.

Like I said before, I would like to use Guarddog but it won't run.
I get the error 'Unable to open the network protocol database XML file.'

I would like to know alternative packages that will work on SuSE 9.0.

Cheers

Simon
