When I establish a ppp-connection to my isp on the suse-box, I'm unable to reach the ppp-network from the win95-box. I've tried to add the suse-box as default gateway by the route command, with the result I canŽt reach the internet at all!

The way I did it here once I got Samba working and the two computers talking to each other (in win95). Was to set up Apache as a proxy server on the Suse Box. Then all the internet software on the win95 box, I set up to use my Suse Box as a proxy server (using port 80 everywhere except for security, but netscape filled in the correct ports automatically). Then after playing with ppp as a dial-on-demand for a little bit, I learned about diald, and that is what I use now to enable accessing the internet from either box. I've since "updated" my win95 box to a win98 box, and after a couple of hangups due to "encrypt or not", got it to see the suse box on the lan, but it works just like the win95 box did:-) cya l8r Leon McClatchey <A HREF="mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com">mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com</A> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
