Many thanks for all the help, out there. I finally got the eth0 & ppp0 to live together in peace ...at least for now. Couldn't have figured it out nearly as fast w/o everyone who contributed ideas. ...CH

Stop for a moment and consider what SuSE linux is. Howmany interdependent components does it have? How many different environments is it expected to run in? How much of it works as expected? How much has it improved and grown in the past decade? What kind of _coordination_ does it take to produce a distribution like this every 4 to 6 months, and then continuously update the distribution through patched and upgrade rpms? What is the market capitalization of their biggest competitor? How much do they require you pay to use their product? How much does their competitor charge? Which operating system is more secure? Which is more adaptable? More stable? More efficient? Could *you* do what SuSE do consistently? STH PS: in a year, I will ask about ease of use. For me Linux is easier to use than MS for most things, but I know it fairly well. For the average Johan I suspect Windows still provides his limited feature set with better ease of use. There may always be a place for Windoze among the below average IQ user base. But the day will soon come when thunking a Linux box down in front of most people will put a smile on their face. Did I mention networking, and server applications... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAPA4sH2SF0i7rrGwRAh6nAKCxIyLjkV/Fz531J4Gzx/btR599JwCeJa/K revEDF8cDaXXu5TSkiP5Sps= =GOEM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Welcome to planet earth, where thanking people for guidance doesn't go unpunished. ;-) Perhaps by the time I've been using SuSE for as many years as I have used other flavors I'll know as much as you. I can only hope!! ...CH

Hi Glad to see this one fixed, even though I only watched from the sidelines. Would you mind posting a brief note of what was the exact cause of your problem and what fixed it for you? It would help to know where to suggest looking if this question crops up again. Vince Littler

looking if this question crops up again. Vince Littler Ultimately, I believe my problem was that (1)I was removing the ISPs DNS
addresses from the 'domain name & name server config' in eth0 config
area while entering the LAN IP address (not realizing that both are apparently
necessary --kppp setup not withstanding), no gateway specified & no ip
forwarding in the 'routing' area (everything else is at defaults), as well as
having the 'protect from internal network' in firewall config pg 4.
I think that covers it.
