I apologize if this has been addressed recently. Returning to list after a couple of years, and haven't found a good way of searching archives without going month by month.
I have been most places to look for information on this. How-to's, wiki's, manuals, and forums come close with some parts but I'm either left confused, or in trying suggestions, have no results whatsoever or wind up with more problems than I started with.
Here's what I have going on:
I have 3 boxes -
Box #1 - SuSE 9.3-Pro - This box has 2 network PCI cards - 1) Wireless PCI(wlan0) pointing to the router(wireless) (internet) (via DHCP). 2) Ethernet card (eth0) set with static IP, also set to internal zone in firewall. (Also just picked up another wireless PCI and can install if needed)
Box #2 - WinXP-Home -This box has 1 network PCI card - 1) Ethernet PCI set with static IP in same subnet as eth0 on Box #1
Box #3 - WinXP-Pro -This box has 1 network PCI card - 1) Wireless PCI pointing to the router(wireless) (internet)(via DHCP). Also connected to this box are 2 printers.
**Box #1 & 2 sit next to each other in one location, Box #3 is in same location as router (wireless), yet separated from other Boxes.**
**I want to be able to share files and printers with ALL boxes.**
**I want to be able to use the internet from Box #2 and Box #3, BUT have them go through Box #1. Box#2 > Box#1>router(internet) AND Box#3>Box#1>router(internet)**
Problems- -Box #1 can only ping self and router. -Box #2 can only ping self. -Box #3 can ping self, router, and Box #1
Is there hope without turning my brain to mush pouring through volumes of information??? I need the networking for dummies version.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

try /sbin/route Look for a gateway
donn@m1l:~> /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.10.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.254.254 is our DSL router box which is connected to our 192.168.#.# network
Here's mine: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.15.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.15.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 My default gateway is my router which is connected to the internet. It also is the dhcp server, and serves addresses to my wlan0 on Box #1 and my wireless pci card on Box #3. My ethernet card on Box #2 is on the same subnet as eth0 on Box #1, which is, as you can see, different than the wlan0 and the router. I do not have a static address with my ISP. Should (can) I disable the dhcp server on the router and statically assign addresses to my cards on each box, and in the same sub? Keep in mind that my end desire is to have Box #2 and Box #3 route to the internet through Box #1, and to file and print share between them all. Bernd
