I have 2 machines which have recently been networked to each-other, one connects to the internet via dial-up, how would I go about configuring them both to connect to the net (configure one as a gateway, and the second to access that gateway) they are both running SuSE 9.0 networked via 100/Mbit LAN card. ---------------------------- << snip >> Hi, Seem you have same setup I have...Suse 9.0 both pc's Done same with help of a friend 3 weeks ago....like it...will never look back.
