Sorry if I go over points already tried, but I think that I come a bit late to this thread. Anyway it may be a good idea to review all the obvious points. Can you ping the SuSE machine from the win98 and win2k machines? What are the IP addresses assigned to all hosts (and routers if used) and what are the netmasks? You obviously have internet connection, which host provides that or is it through a router box? Can you reach the internet from the SuSE machine? Do you have a DNS on the network? Are you pinging by ip number of machine name? (End of third degree for the moment :-) Peter On Tuesday 16 April 2002 9:31 am, you wrote:

Everything with Win works fine, I.e.: Win 2k -> Win 98 SE, Win 98 SE -> Win 98 SE, Win 98 SE -> Win 2k. Only SuSE -> Win 98 SE doesn't work. I just don't know how to find out what is wrong at the SuSE end.
Totally baffled,
