I have a network card configured as wlan0 which connects me to the Internet.
I also have an other network card ( eth0) which i want to use as a Locale network.
I have a cable connection from the last one to another computer.
This needs to be a crossover cable and not a regular Ethernet.
Yes, that's the one I have.
Now how can I bridge those cards so that the other computer can connect to the Internet as well?
Use SuSEfirewall2 to masquerade the internal network to the external wlan0.
Joe, Just to make sure that I understand this right. I go to Yast>> security>> Firewall and set this up with the right mac addresses. After I've done that there will be a link between the two networks and my other computer has access to the Internet as well? Sorry if it sounds a bit stupid and I appreciate your help. Here on our little Island I'm the only one who runs Linux and I'm not an expert by far. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.
