Can someone tell me how to do this, I have it connected to Windows on the same machine but it will not connect to SuSE. I had a BEFSR41 and now have a BEFW11S4 that works flawlessly with my desktop system (SuSE 9.0, but had been using 8.2 and 7.3 before that). Both of my systems use static IP addresses because of NFS and backups. For a static IP address, you must specify a gateway (default for Linksys is 192.168.1.1). You can do this through YaST/Network Devices/Network card. Click on chenges and select the appropriate card. The clikc on edit, then routing, and type the gateway address into the "default gateway" slot, then click Finish. (I believe that YaST in 8.0 is identical to 9.0 in this scenario).

Jerry, Thanks for the info but I have not been able to make it work. I have my nic card set up as static ip 65.???.???.??? sub -net mask 255.255.255.192 Host name: linux Domain Name: local Name Server List: 204.96.220.4 local Default Gateway: 65.???.???.??? I have set the defaut gateway to 192.168.1.1 and it gives me nothing. I have also set the router for static ip. What am I not doing right? David

Got to the status page on your router. The default gateway is the LAN IP address of the router. (The Linksys default is 192.168.1.1). The WAN address is the dynamic or static IP address assigned by you ISP. The IP address of your NIC should be compliant with the subnet mask for your LAN (Normally you set your LAN up as a class C - 255.255.255.0 The IP addresses of your local LAN have no relationship to the IP addresses of the WAN (your connection to your ISP). The SuSE machine can easily be set up for dynamic or static IP address within your local LAN. The name server list should be those given to you by your ISP. - -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAIcMZ+wA+1cUGHqkRAv1SAJ92y7G2qlZxvliCGm9YrTaLxRl4lACeOdr9 DHOalqJT3OJnTJg0wORZQM4= =V/A3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Sounds like you do not have a valid IP for your intranet set up. Your internal network will most likely have addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet. Run ipconfig /all on the windows box you said was working. That will show you the address assigned to the windows box via dhcp from the linksys. Since your linux box has a static IP you need to set its IP to one in the your LANs subnet. Try something like 192.168.1.3. Default gateway 192.168.1.1. You will need to get the DNS servers either by looking at the entries on the linksys or on your windows machine. -- Scot L. Harris

If the LinkSys is set with the address 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 (the default) then you need to set all of the computers connecting to it in the 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 address as well. It will not work any other way. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Thank You All. What I had to do was set the lan on SuSE to static IP with 192.168.1.103/255.25.255.0 and the defaut gateway as 192.168.1.1. Then I left the settings on the router set to static IP. Thanks again for all the help. David

Thanks again for all the help. be careful with 192.168.1.103. Remember that your router sets a range of addresses for static and for dynamic. Dynamic normally start at 192.168.1.100 and range up. So, you are better off chosing a lower number for your SuSE box.

Not necessary. Any rfc compliant dhcp server pings an address before giving it out, so they work around statically configured boxes. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
