opps forgot to add , using suse usa 6 cd distro , dial up modem with wvdial.dod external modem on com 1 , 10 megabit ne200 compatable ethernet as eth0 , firewall/ipmasq/dhcp set ip as 10.20.30.9 , while the other machines have there ips set as 10.20.30.1....4 , and dial up gets its ip address from the isp on each new dial in, with a new ip on each new dial in . Hi folks, I got wvdial.dod working with the german version from suse.de. Thanks for the link. Now whats next ? Dhcp ?? ip masq ??? Firewall ?? Which order do I start with . I do know the suse dhcp is buggy , where do I get the one that works ? Any one have a url ? which needs to be set up first , dhcp , or does ip masq need to be running first ? on ip masq is this done via yast or the kernal ? I assume that firewalling is last ? via ip chians yes ? Via yast ot kernal ? any one have that web addrss that sets ipchians up ? does it work with yast/suse ? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
