Hello,

was glad to find the synce software on the SourceForge server! Downloaded
it,
installed and...ran into problems!
Done a lot of search within sourceForge, Mailinglists, Google,... but not
found any working solution. Perhaps anyone can help me solving my problem
and beeing one step further to do anything with my Linux!

Problem description:
On my SuSE system there is the SuSefirewall2 running. If i connect my PDA
and
run synce-serial-start i get the entries listed below in /var/log/messages
and the connection cannot be established. But if a start synce-serial-start
with the firewall shut down before that then the connection can be
established. I also can start the firewall again afterwards.
I already configured the firewall to open ports 5678 and 5679 but with no
effect.

Hope you can help me. Thank you very muc in advance!
Looking forward to hear from you!

regards,
Ralf
