Re: [LUG] RE: Google problems?

Keith

I'm running SuSE 9.0. However my problem cleared itself over the weekend
without any intervention from me. I'm certain the problem isn't at your
end though, as I only began experiencing the problem a couple of days
ago and hadn't made any changes to my system just prior to the problem
occurring.

I'm putting it down to the vagaries of BT and Google (maybe its a plot
by BT to force us onto Yahoo?).

      Once a dial-up connection has been estabilshed and
      there is an idle moment Kinternet shows a short burst
      of traffic. After that I can no longer access Google.

      I made a dial-up connection, waited for the activity to
      occur and then dropped the connection..
      The messages log show the following activity
      which mostly concerns SuSEFirewall.

      To my untutored eye it looks as if some of my connections to the
      ISP are being dropped.
      I remember that SuSE recently updated their firewall and I suspect
      some of the rules have been changed. But it's all a bit over my
      head.
      Any one willing to help me sort it out?
