>Try disabling SuSEfirewall2 for your device's interface. This is usually eth* or rndis*. The firewall configuration can be accessed through Yast (Administrator Settings) >> Security and Users >> Firewall. Add the interface to the "Internal Zone" or disable your firewall completely.

>It is only considered safe to completely disable SuSEfirewall2 if you are behind a hardware firewall, such as a router!
>
>Unfortunately, even if you add the device's interface to the firewall's "Internal Zone", you might still experience problems with your device being firewalled. You will need to restart SuSEfirewall2 every time the device is plugged in, unplug the device, and then plug it back in. One way around this is to edit `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules`. Find the 2 lines that look like the following (the "?" differ between devices):
>
># USB device 0x????:0x???? (rndis_host)
>SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="??:??:??:??:??:??", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth?"
>
>Note that you might have "rndis" instead of "eth" above and there should be no line breaks after "SUBSYSTEM". Add `, RUN+="/sbin/rcSuSEfirewall2 restart"` at the end of the line. The two lines should look like this now:
>
># USB device 0x????:0x???? (rndis_host)
>SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="??:??:??:??:??:??", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth?", RUN+="/sbin/rcSuSEfirewall2 restart"
>
>Now the firewall setup will be restarted each time the device is plugged in, and you don't need to worry about doing it manually and replugging your device.
