    If you cannot get any satisfaction from the list then wait a week and
    try again. There are many talented and helpful people on the list but
    often not available to help all the time. I know this to be true.

    If you still cannot get any satisfaction from the list email me and we
    start from scratch and I will try my best to help you.

    Depending upon the size of the list there is always one or two people
    that think helping someone means putting them through the same hardships
    of learning that they encountered. This is a fairly common thing. It
    never occurs to them that we all build on the experience of others.
    There is no shame in not knowing something. The shame is when someone
    knows something they are unwilling to share. This is strange behavior
    in the domain of Open and Free Software built by people who could
    support and collaborate with one another. Even the most brilliant and
    knowledgeable person has missing links of information. So don't let the
    insults take a toll on you. Don't give up. You have every right to ask
    any kind of SuSE related question especially if it relates to
    configuration issues.

    BTW. There are several ways you can go and some distributions (and I
    think SuSE 9.1 forward is one) do not allow the joint use of IP TABLES
    with IP CHAINS -- it has to be one or the other or conflicts develop --
    when configuring the routing and firewalling of the network. But I would
    have to check this out to be sure. What you need is someone to give you
    copies of their appropriate config files and associated cmd line
    displays of network commands such as route, ifconfig, etc. It seems for
    some reason, the need for clear and relevant examples would be more
    commonplace but sadly not so.

    Every list has a few people that are so proud of their own achievements
    and technical skills that they find difficulty in really helping others
    attain to that achievement. Maybe they just get frustrated -- but that's
    no excuse to insult someone who is obviously trying. I don't know what
    they are really doing on a list such as this if they are not prepared to
    help everyone they can with what they have learned. If they cannot be
    respectful of others the least they can do is keep their mouthy
    attitudes to themselves.

    Thanks, TED
