Sean,
On the laptop under YasT2->network basic-> LAN, set up the routing under
the laptop's NIC so that dragoon is the gateway for it, and set up the
nameserver's IP where it asks for nameserver, save, let SuSEconfig run
and you should be in business. I use my laptop all the time this way.
HTH,

Hello,
I have a small home network which sits behind a linux box running SuSE 7.2Pro (update), kernel 2.4.6 and SuSEfirewall2. One of the machines behind the firewall is a laptop running SuSE 7.2Pro. I am trying to set it up so that the laptop can access the Internet over the network through the firewall. So, the firewall would be its gateway. My /etc/hosts looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 hussar.nuthole.de hussar 192.168.0.2 graves.nuthole.de graves 192.168.0.3 dragoon.nuthole.de dragoon 192.168.0.4 lancer.nuthole.de lancer 192.168.0.5 pontifex.nuthole.de pontifex 192.168.0.6 scout.nuthole.de scout 192.168.0.99 dragoon.nuthole.de
Dragoon is the linux box running SuSEfirewall2. It connects to the Internet using ISDN and I4L. Graves, running Mac OS 9.1, can access the Internet over dragoon, as can scout, my daughter's Win98 box. So I know that masquerading/forwarding is working on my gateway/firewall. What do I need to do to the linux laptop pontifex to get it to access the Internet over dragoon?
I have tried configuration with yast and yast2. I set dragoon/192.168.0.3 up as the nameserver and as the gateway/PtP in the dialog boxes. What am I missing? Is there a file you need to see to figure this out?
Cheers, Sean
PS- Be warned. I am planning an email to you all to ask about a move to T-DSL and 802.11b using a modification of this setup!

Keith, Thanks, that helped. Although I had been into that dialog box before to configure the card, I had not considered the nameserver part. I had the nameserver set to be dragoon. The trick was adding my ISP's nameservers as well. Once I added them, the external connection came right up. Unfortunately, this seems to have only worked that one time. The changes were made while cardmgr had a temporary routing set up. So, when later I booted up again, with the network PCMCIA card inserted, my attempts to ping even internal machines are answered with a "network is unreachable" message. I went back in and reconfigured using yast2 without the card installed, but that doesn't seemed to have helped either. The network is still unreachable. Obviously I have a number of questions, but I think chief among them is where does cardmgr get its network routing information to set up the network when the card is inserted? Does it have its own separate network configuration files? Cheers, Sean On Thursday 11 October 2001 02:58, kbb0927@cs.com wrote:

OK. I think I have a handle on this now. The trick seems to be to not select PCMCIA in yast2 when configuring the card and to set MDIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY to "no". Makes sense, since I am not running ppp or i4l or anything like that on this laptop. Seems to work fine now. In a month or two I think I will try to break it by switching to a wireless LAN card. We'll see how that goes. Cheers, Sean On Thursday 11 October 2001 10:19, Theo. Sean Schulze wrote:
