Hi, Just wondering if Suse's Yast program has the ability to setup IP masquerade? IE one real eth0 interface and one non routable eth0:1 (192.168.0.1/24 ip address attached to it) Can this be done, most people asking for linux assistance all want ip masquerading for the hot new cable modems. and I think that the ethernet setup under Yast is great, but then to have to hand edit the filter / firewall rules is not for the faint of heart.
Just searching for solutions,
Masqerading can be setup with YaST, or by editing /etc.rc.config. I recommend the latter, there are only three lines to change. Look at chapter 17, page 270 in the manual. The preinstalled kernels support masquerading out of the box, so you only have to setup the MSQ_* values...
