Nick and All, I am a bit confused as to what I do to patch the kernel for pppoed. I tried to patch the 2.2.13 kernel with the 2.2.12 patch and it indicated parts of the patch were already there. Am I to assume the 2.2.13 kernel has support for pppoed in the source tree? If I run xconfig should I see a pppoed option in the GUI? Do I have to manually edit the config file? Is the kernel space pppoed noticeably superior to the user space, rp pppoed? What's the latest version of pppoed that works with 2.2.13? Will SuSE make this easier in 6.4? This has really been a b!tch to configure. The 3c509s I am using were not straight forward to configure in a multi device system, etc. . . . I may be able to figure out the answers to my questions when I get home and start working on this again. A few pointers might save me some time. Any clarification or input would be appreciated.

Hi,
I finally got my DSL hooked up. It screams! Kül! I know some of you have this working with Linux. I haven't done that yet. Figured I would learn to do this by the book the first time through. It looks like it could be a real PITA to get NT 4 to serve as a router when it is getting its DSL IP Address from DHCP. My guess is Linux will do this rather nicely. If anybody is using Linux as a DSL gateway to their LAN I could sure use some pointers. Are you using IP masquerading? Is it easy to configure? Are there any good howtos on this.

From memory all I really did was tell Yast I wanted masquerading. Yast took care of a lot of it. I'm using a self compiled kernel so I need to make sure I picked the right things but the SuSE kernel may already have that. From behind the firewall make sure to lower the MTU on the client machines. The PPPoE overhead can cause problems if you don't. Give all the client machines static private IPs and that's about it I think.
