    Hi Bruce,
       Have a look at the SuSEfirewall2 file of the
    gateway SuSe machine. On my internal PC running Fedora
    I have stopped the firewall.

        #
    # PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
    #
    # Just by configuring these settings and using the
    SuSEfirewall2 you are
    # not secure per se! There is *not* such a thing you
    install and hence you
    # are safed from all (security) hazards.
    #
    # To ensure your security, you need also:
    #
    # * Secure all services you are offering to
    untrusted networks (internet)
    # You can do this by using software which has been
    designed with
    # security in mind (like postfix, apop3d, ssh),
    setting these up without
    # misconfiguration and praying, that they have got
    really no holes.
    # SuSEcompartment can help in most circumstances
    to reduce the risk.
    # * Do not run untrusted software. (philosophical
    question, can you trust
    # SuSE or any other software distributor?)
    # * Harden your server(s) with the harden_suse
    package/script
    # * Recompile your kernel with the openwall-linux
    kernel patch
    # (former secure-linux patch, from Solar Designer)
    www.openwall.com
    # * Check the security of your server(s) regulary
    # * If you are using this server as a
    firewall/bastion host to the internet
    # for an internal network, try to run proxy
    services for everything and
    # disable routing on this machine.
    # * If you run DNS on the firewall: disable
    untrusted zone transfers and
    # either don't allow access to it from the
    internet or run it split-brained.
    #
    # Good luck!

    # All types have to set enable SuSEfirewall2 in the

    #
    # If you are a end-user who is NOT connected to two
    networks (read: you have
    # got a single user system and are using a dialup to
    the internet) you just
    # have to configure (all other settings are OK): 2)
    and maybe 9).
    #
    # If this server is a firewall, which should act like
    a proxy (no direct
    # routing between both networks), or you are an
    end-user connected to the
    # internet and to an internal network, you have to
    setup your proxys and
    # reconfigure (all other settings are OK): 2), 3), 9)
    and maybe 7), 11), 14)
    #
    # If this server is a firewall, and should do
    routing/masquerading between
    # the untrusted and the trusted network, you have to
    reconfigure (all other
    # settings are OK): 2), 3), 5), 6), 9), and maybe 7),
    10), 11), 12), 13),
    # 14), 20)

    8), 11), 15), 16)

    the far end, but you
    # should NOT.

    #
    # To get programs like traceroutes to your firewall to
    work is a bit tricky,
    # you have to set the following options to "yes" : 11
    (UDP only), 18 and 19.
    #
    # Please note that if you use service names, that they
    exist in /etc/services.
    # There is no service "dns", it's called "domain";
    email is called "smtp" etc.
    #
    # *Any* routing between interfaces except masquerading
    requires to set FW_ROUTE
    # to "yes" and use FW_FORWARD or
    FW_ALLOW_CLASS_ROUTING !
    #
    # If you just want to do masquerading without
    filtering, ignore this script
    # and run this line (exchange "ippp0" "ppp0" if you
    use a modem, not isdn):
    # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -o
    ippp0
    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    # and additionally the following lines to get at least
    a minimum of security:

    the dmz/dialups.
    # A "dmz" is a special, seperated network, which is
    only connected to the
    # firewall, and should be reachable from the internet
    to provide services,
    # e.g. WWW, Mail, etc. and hence are at risk from

    10.0.1.0/24,0/0tcp,21" allows

    # servers (on the internal network or dmz)?
    # REQUIRES: FW_ROUTE
    #
    # With this option you may allow access to e.g. your
    mailserver. The
    # machines must be in a masqueraded segment and may
    not have public IP addesses!
    # Hint: if FW_DEV_MASQ is set to the external
    interface you have to set
    # FW_FORWARD from internal to DMZ for the service as
    well to allow access
    # from internal!
    #
    # Please note that this should *not* be used for
    security reasons! You are
    # opening a hole to your precious internal network. If
    e.g. the webserver there
    # is compromised - your full internal network is
    compromised!!
    #
    # Choice: leave empty (good choice!) or use the
    following explained syntax
    # of forward masquerade rules, seperated each by a
    space.
    # A forward masquerade rule consists of 1) source
    IP/net, 2) the IP to which
    # the requests will be forwarded to (in the dmz/intern
    net), 3) a protocol
    # (tcp/udp only!) and 4) destination port, seperated
    by a comma (","), e.g.
    # "4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,tcp,80"
    #
    # Optional is a port after the destination port, to
    redirect the request to
    # a different destination port on the destination IP,
    e.g.
    # "4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,tcp,80,81"
    #
    # Optional is an target IP address on which should the
    masquerading be decided.
    # You have to set the optional port option to use
    this.
    #
    # Example:
    # 200.200.200.0/24,10.0.0.10,tcp,80,81,202.202.202.202
    # The class C network 200.200.200.0/24 trying to
    access 202.202.202.202 port
    # 80 will be forwarded to the internal server
    10.0.0.10 on port 81.
    # Example:
    # 200.200.200.0/24,10.0.0.10,tcp,80
    # The class C network 200.200.200.0/24 trying to
    access anything which goes
    # through this firewall ill be forwarded to the
    internal server 10.0.0.10 on

    #
    # This can be used to force all internal users to surf
    via your squid proxy,
    # or transparently redirect incoming webtraffic to a
    secure webserver.
    #
    # Choice: leave empty or use the following explained
    syntax of redirecting
    # rules, seperated by a space.
    # A redirecting rule consists of 1) source IP/net, 2)
    destination IP/net,
    # 3) protocol (tcp or udp) 3) original destination
    port and 4) local port to
    # redirect the traffic to, seperated by a colon. e.g.:
    # "10.0.0.0/8,0/0,tcp,80,3128
    0/0,172.20.1.1,tcp,80,8080"

    # Tuning your upstream a little bit via HTB

    #
    # If your download collapses while you have a parallel
    upload,
    # this parameter might be an option for you. It
    manages your
    # upload stream and reserves bandwidth for special
    packets like
    # TCP ACK packets or interactive SSH.
    # It's a list of devices and maximum bandwidth in
    kbit.
    # For example, the german TDSL account, provides
    128kbit/s upstream
    # and 768kbit/s downstream. We can only tune the
    upstream.
    #
    # Example:
    # If you want to tune a 128kbit/s upstream DSL device
    like german TDSL set
    # the following values:
    # FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="ppp0,125"
    # where ppp0 is your pppoe device and 125 stands for
    125kbit/s upstream
    #
    # you might wonder why 125kbit/s and not 128kbit/s.
    Well practically you'll
    # get a better performance if you keep the value a few
    percent under your
    # real maximum upload bandwidth, to prevent the DSL
    modem from queuing traffic in
    # it's own buffers because queing is done by us now.
    # So for a 256kbit upstream
    # FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="ppp0,250"
    # might be a better value than "ppp0,256". There is no
    perfect value for a
    # special kind of modem. The perfect value depends on
    what kind of traffic you
    # have on your line but 5% under your maximum upstream
    might be a good start.
    # Everthing else is special fine tuning.
    # If you want to know more about the technical
    background,
    #
    http://tldp.org/HOWTO/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO/
