Thanks to all those that helped. I'm up and running now. My problem was the IP being specified in the MSQ setup. I was using 192.168.0.0/24 and changing to 192.168.1.0/24 did the trick. Changing the MSQ_DEV from eth0 to ppp0 didn't seem to make any difference. I also had to put the following in my boot.local ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 It was a little frustrating that it took so long to get this working when the steps were so simple. A little 5 Minute Masquerding HowTo on the SuSE site would be useful since I think this is something the majority of people who use Linux want to do. I'm glad that SuSE put the MSQ symbols in the configuration file, it does make it easier once you understand what needs to be done. Again thanks to the great mailing list. Now on to try my Windows98 and Win2K clients, then firewalling! BTW: is there any real reason to run Squid if I only have a couple of machines on my home net? regs, -jrp -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
