Try ipchains -L too, since you might have an ipchains based firewall.
I doubt it, since he's running 2.4.10...
Of course, it's possible, but I doubt SuSE would ship a firewall setup with 2.4.x, and use the compatibility module for ipchains...
I have SuSE 7.2 and I get a response to ipchains -L but not to iptables -L :-) (uname -r gives 2.4.4-4GB) SuSE supplies two firewalls, a personal one (a quickie, basically just masquerading) and "SuSE firewall". The latter is configured via a file /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config which has this line Note: For 2.4 kernels, you need to have ipchains support enabled. in the comments section. So Chuck's instincts seem well-based. In SuSE's defense, this is back at 2.4.4 kernel which, I gather, was not quite ready for prime time even with the ipchains modules. Also SuSe does not claim to hand-hold for firewall stuff; you have to pay extra for that >-) doug PS My spell-checker thinks "firewall" might be "fireball" :-)
