Firewall Setting to reach network??
I have a Linux box and a Win2k box setup on my home network and they work ok. I installed openSuse 10.2 on a laptop and I can't access the network with the firewall enabled. I have no problem if I disable the firewall.
So how do I need to setup the firewall (using Yast) in order to access my network with it enabled?

You need to specify what you want to access, that is an ambigous question??

I want to access a shared directory on the win2k box. When the firewall is turned off, I can. When I turn the firewall back on, I can't.
I also am confused about how this version of linux controls the firewall. It has an external zone, an internal zone and a "demilitirized zone". I don't quite understand that setup.
Anyway, I tried enabling every service on all 3 zones with no luck. I don't know what I need to enable or how to enable it to access my win2k box with the firewall still on.
