   I installed Suse Linux 9.3 on my computer and the Firewall was
automatically setup for External zone. Works well on the Internet, but
the Firewall is preventing access to my LAN.

   My network configuration is two Windows computers and this Linux
computer all plugged into my Linksys Router, which connects to my DSL
modem.

   The default Firewall installation put my NIC in the External Zone. It
appear the Firewall is preventing access to my LAN.

   QUESTION: Can I assign my NIC to BOTH zones at the same time
(External AND Internal?)

   Any good sites with info on setting Firewall up in this configuration?
(The Novel info on the WEB seems to basically ignore this configuration.
