Hi, I have a working network. It consists of a Hardware WLAN Router (FM114P Netgear) which is connected to the Internet (ADSL Modem Zyxel 642ME II). Through WLAN I have 4 XP computers and one Suse 9.0 Computer connected. This is working fine (LAN wise and internet wise). Now I try to connect a new XP Computer to the Suse 9.0 computer (Cross LAN Cable). In the end I want this computer to be one part of the network (LAN and internet connection) and run into a few problems. The actual konfiguration is shown below. I can ping the new XP computer from Suse. I can ping the Suse computer from XP. The hardware router can not be reached by a ping (192.168.0.1). Questions: - Why does LAN port 2 of the Suse machine gets subnet 192.168.0.96? . How does the routing table on Suse have to look like? - Do I have to configure DNS Adresse on SUSE or the new XP machine? - Do I have change the routing konfiguration on the hardware router? Thank for helping me out Christian Actual konfiguration: - WLAN Router FM114P - WAN Port MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6f IP Address 80.238.131.252 DHCP PPPoE IP Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Domain Name Server 1 DNS: 62.65.128.10 2 DNS: 62.65.128.15 - LAN Port MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e IP Address 192.168.0.1 DHCP ON IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 - Linux SUSE - LAN Port 1 (WLAN MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e Subnet 192.168.0.0 IP Address 192.168.0.3 (Automatic DHCP, but always 192.168.0.3) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 - LAN Port 2 (LAN) MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e Subnet 192.168.0.96 IP Address 192.168.0.97 (Manual) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Manual) - Win XP (Through Lan Port 2 with Suse machine connected) IP Address 192.168.0.98 (Fix) Gateway 192.168.0.97 (Suse) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Fix)

Ok, you've defined the subnet 192.168.0.x, 0 <= x <= 255 here.
- LAN Port 2 (LAN) MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e Subnet 192.168.0.96 IP Address 192.168.0.97 (Manual) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Manual)
This is a part of the earlier defined subnet. Only the set routing priority will define if the address 192.168.0.240 will be expected on LAN1 or LAN2.
- Win XP (Through Lan Port 2 with Suse machine connected) IP Address 192.168.0.98 (Fix) Gateway 192.168.0.97 (Suse) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Fix)
Nothing wrong with this in itself, but if you try to access the main router, the router cannot find this machine. According to its subnet definition this address is on its own subnet, not behind your SuSE router. You'll need to make sure that your subnets don't overlap, and to set up a proper routing table for each subnet in your routers. It's that or use NAT in your SuSE router, but I don't know if that'll make you happy. :) Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
