I'm still having about 30 websites found to read on,
but I've already went through far more than that and
did not find a specific answer.

It's alright with me if SuSE chooses this policy, but
the documentation should at least mention it is not
suitable for more complicated networks, that"s all.
I'll somehow find how to get through this, but I'm sad
when so many others ought to have bad luck trying to
figure out what's going on in the same way.

Let me restart my firewall, stop smppd, start it
again, register new IP by dynamic DNS and then try to
ping. If this succeeds, you made me happy.

Thank you again, now I know a little bit more on how
to hack on SuSE FW2.
