I have two boxes, both of which have both XP & SuSE. One box is trying to be the host & the other the client. When it comes to internet and the host is dialed in using XP, the other box can access w/o any hassle, whether XP or Linux. When the host is using Linux, the other box can't access the net w/either platform. I took the host's portsentry down, scrapped the firewall and have 'ip forwarding' checked. I think the resolv.conf is correct... localhost 127.0.0.1 nameserver 205.247.104.20 nameserver 205.247.104.21 ...but cannot say for sure, not to mention what I may have otherwise overlooked. A hint or two would be much appreciated (such as what topic I'm looking for in the SDB). As an aside, I did an FTP install of 9.1 on the client box and, even after boot, I only had to put the nameserver stuff in place to be able to surf the net when the host box was logged in using XP. As soon as I changed the host box to SuSE (9) I could no longer surf, and nothing shows up in the logs, either. Hmmmm. Thanks! -- "Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

Is routing on on the router? /etc/sysconfig/sysctl IP_FORWARD="yes" Cheers, Leen

The host is supposed to feed the internet to one box. The IP_FORWARD="yes" is already in place prior to posting, it turns out. -- "Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

I took the host's portsentry down, scrapped the firewall and have 'ip forwarding' checked. I think the resolv.conf is correct...
Unless you have multiple real IP addresses, you're going to need masquerading. Scrapping the firewall, then, is probably not a good idea. On the server, check the "do masquerading and forwarding" in the firewall setup

I am using portsentry as a firewall on the host box and plan on implementing it on the client, as well. The client box is getting its IP address vial dhcp & I am able to access the client drive via samba (I don't have Linux set up for sharing) but no internet. -- "Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio

No, you're not, portsentry is not a firewall. And, more to the point, it isn't capable of doing masquerading.

Internal address or real? I'll bet it's internal. You really need to do masquerading, I'm not trying to fool you, it really really is needed
