Hi Jerry, Are you sure IP_FORWARD is enabled in rc.config on Sony ? (try to look it up with yast1) I recommend to set up SuSE firewall. A lot is explained in there. I have a little home network ( 192.168.0.1 --- 192.168.0.14 ) and I remember before setting up the firewall (last september with suse7.0 HEY!!!! that box is up since september !!!!) I use to do : ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/16 -b -j MASQ Hope this helps, Filip. Le Samedi 17 Mars 2001 07:22, Jerry Kreps a écrit :
mmmm... Doesn't seem to work:

The -help doesn't seem to know about 'forward' or 'MASQ' ??? JLK

Now, all I have to do is get the Beast and the Sony to talk together. They can ping each other but I still can browse the Internet via the Sony and the ADSL. I'm looking int
Dear Jerry,
Here is a quick solution that Chris Reeves gave me a couple of weeks ago under the thread "Accessing net through LAN - Choices [was PCMCIA MODEM]"
<snip> Here are some quick and easy steps.
On your laptop (as root): route add default gw <ip address of old pc> You'll also have to set up your /etc/resolv.conf with the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers (so that it looks the same as the one on the old PC when it's connected).
On your old PC (as root): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ipchains -P forward MASQ
This does assume you have a basic network set up such that you can ping each computer from the other. If you don't, and need a hand, let us know and someone will help.
Remember, this setup is *not* secure.
Hope that helps Chris

It worked for me.
