My solution has been to use Shorewall firewall, Follow the quick start guides and it's pretty simple. They even have a two interface sample files that make it very simple. No gui unless you use Webmin.

Hi. I'll have a look. I don't mind editing files. It just seems that the yast masquerade interface is so complicated. Why are there six values to fill in? All I want to do is make a router. Or maybe I'm missing something. Cheers. steve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If all you want is a router, you don't have to worry about that stuff. They're only if you want to allow remote access into your network.

Like James said, you don't want to use "masquerade" on your first Linux box that has 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.1 on two eth interfaces. You need "masquerade" only when your Linux box has a public IP assigned or pulled from your ADSL provider (behind ADSL modem). In your case, you have an ADSL router. That router is taking care of "masquerading" now [sharing one public IP between all internal devices].

Shorewall isn't too bad. You might also try...

Those are things you use if you want to make some service on a local computer available via the internet. Is that what you want to do?

I just want to connect 2 computers to one Internet connection. ADSL router 192.168.1.1, computer1 I want to be the internal router. It has 2 nic's 192.168,1,2 and 192.168,2.1 the latter is connected to another computer 192.168.2.2. All i want is the 192.168.2.2 sees the Internet.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not just connect both computers to the ADSL router?

Just click the Masquerade Networks checkbox and that is all you need. The other settings are for more fine grained control.

Nope. I tried that. It says that they have to be filled in. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version of openSUSE are you using? I didn't put anything in those fields - only checked the masquerade networks box. I'm on openSUSE 11.0 (KDE). Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
