I run SuSe 9.1.In order to transform my lowid I tried the suggested Howto . nothing happened.
So I'm trying to modify the iptables: the new lines don't survive the reloading of the system.
Is it correct to save them with iptables-save,or should I do something else?
Should I do something else I haven't the slightest idea about?
Thanks for help!

Hi Paolo,

You have to edit the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file to open ports permanently.
Assuming aMule runs on the firewall host, you have no internal network and use the default ports (4662, 4672), the relevant settings are:

# 1.) Should the Firewall run in quickmode?
FW_QUICKMODE="no"
# 2.) Which is the interface that points to the internet/untrusted networks?
FW_DEV_EXT="...whatever your internet interface is..."
# 9.) Which services ON THE FIREWALL should be accessible from .. the internet ...?
FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="4662"
FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="4665 4672"

If you use different ports, you surely will be able to figure it out yourself  
It's also possible to use FW_QUICKMODE="yes", in this case set the FW_SERVICES_QUICK_TCP and FW_SERVICES_QUICK_UDP variables (but I haven't tried that variant).

Ciao!

thank you Atarius! I had already modified the Suse Firewall (it was the HOWTO i tried before):however now I made it according to your suggestions. unfortunately nothing happened again.
So  I'm back to my question about how to save the modifications in iptables. Ciao! ?(http://forum.amule.org/images/bunfirlite/smilies/confused.gif

Maybe you have an old /etc/sysconfig/personal-firewall file lying around with REJECT_ALL_INCOMING_CONNECTIONS set to something? This would override all settings of SuSEfirewall2, gnagnagnagna! :rolleyes:
