Re: [Sheflug] Re: Firewalls for SuSE 9.0




Oh dear :( I wouldn't expect that from a firewall.
Firewalls tend to do that if the ports are closed!

Might be an idea to take it back to PC World and get a refund.
Cheeky b'stard. I built this PC myself, and there's fcuk all wrong with it!!!

One of the problems you'll find with a combined gateway/server is that
you often want a gateway to have much simpler, stronger rules than you
can get away with on the server. Lots of protocols (FTP, SMB, etc.) are
quite complex, and can be temperamental (or worse) if not correctly
configured.
I know. Shorewall is a bit more advanced than I'm used to but I'm sure I'll get it working tonight.
