Hi All, Am using Suse Prof 7.3 and which is connected via eth0 to a cable modem. Which has worked fine. I have just installed eth1 on the Suse box, the driver loaded succesfully and ifconfig confirms that eth1 is OK. I am using the eth1 to add a Win XP client. The Win XP client is there purely to share the internet connection (NOT for sharing files etc). I've jumped on the XP box and set the default gateway to the IP adress of eth1. However, the XP box cannot access the internet. I've tried the various XP "network connection" 'wizzards' (including the 'bridge' wizzard), but still no luck. Even a simple ping from eth1 to XP's NIC "times out" (and pinging from the XP box also times out). The odd thing is that the icon on the XP machines detects a connection and vertifies "100 MBPS network detected." I've tried dissabling firewalls on both machines and still no luck. I know that the cable between both machines is fine and that the XP box has had no problems connection sharing in the past (with another windows machine). Anyone got any ideas???? Many thanks.

Do you have masquerading enabled with SuSEfirewall2? This is necessary for the XP machine to send packets to the internet. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Thanks Joe,
I did have a problem with the IP setting's on the XP
machine but once I sorted that, I changed my personal
firewall settings to "eth0 masq" and subsequently all
is working fine.
