I set up SuSEfirewall2 on my linux box, which is used as a router / firewall
for my small home network. It runs a DHCP server, SuSEfirewall2, Squid.
All the browsers on the local network (including the linux box) use squid as
their http proxy. I have not set up an ftp proxy (unless this is a default
installation option and I have missed it).

Are there any settings I need to watch out for regarding FTP in order to
carry out an on-line update using YOU.

It may be a co-incidence but since setting up the firewall YOU keeps timing
out. It spends some time getting a list of mirror FTP sites to use (10
minutes) but then times out after 20-30 minutes trying to fetch the list of
patches available. How can I figure out what is going wrong ?

Oh I have SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional.

Would appreciate any advice that can be offered.

Thanks ..

Philip
