I am using my SuSE 6.2 box as router, with IP 192.168.0.5, in the config setting, activated IP-Masq, DHCP and some other, can someone help me on this? which to set ON and which do not set to ON? after playing with it, Netscape can't connect to the net so to email :(
Considering you only have three machines why not just give them all static IPs? If you do no need for DHCP.
The Linux box can ping to the outside world, so where is wrong? connection to internet is through wvdial on 56k modem connection.
Are you saying the linux box can ping but the clients can't? If so can you ping by IP#? Or by name? Can you ping from the clients 205.188.247.193 [ftp.netscape.com]? Or do you mean you can't ping at all. When you say you activated IP-Masq what do you mean? Did you turn it on in Yast? If so that only applies after the next time you reboot. Go to /etc/rc.d/masquerade and tell it to start. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking so ask again if any of the things I've suggested didn't help. Other things to do. With the windows machine setup the DNS numbers. Make sure /etc/resolv.conf is right on the linux box.
