Hi, As the info below will show, I know nothing at all about networking and, until last week, never needed to.
I have a simple router which worked fine when connecting two PCs running XPpro. Now I'm trying to use it to connect two workstations, each running SuSE 10.0 (one 32- and one 64-bit), but there is no connection to the internet or to any isp. (Yes, I know I could do this with a crossover cable, but I shall intermittently have network connection soon.)
I tried assigning one machine a local address of 10.0.0.1, making it the dhcp server, but no joy. There seems to be no way to use Yast to create the connection that I want. Any suggestions?

Assign 10.0.0.1 to one of the machines. 10.0.0.2 to the other. And shut down the firewall, or at least enable the ports you need on both machines, so they can communicate. By default all ports are closed. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
