Hi I hope someone can help me. I have a linux box with a modem and a windows pc connected through ethernet to the linux box. linux ip address: 192.168.1.1 windows ip address: 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 I had SuSE 6.3 set up with a firewall, I just installed 6.4 with the susefirewall and I cant even ping the windows pc from linux. The linux box can however ping itself. I have already made the following changes in linux: In /etc/rc.config IP_FORWARD=yes START_FW=yes In /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config/ FW_DEV_WORLD="ppp0" FW_DEV_WORLD_ppp0="192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0" FW_DEV_INT="eth0" FW_DEV_INT_eth0="192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0" FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_NETS="192.168.1.0/24" FW_MASQ_DEV="ppp0" FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="no" FW_KERNAL_SECURITY="no" All other settings are untouched. In yast I have set the autoip to NO AUTO IP ie no DHCP or BOOTP I have set the name server to 192.168.1.1 and my domain name: privat What else do I have to do, or what have I done wrong? If the 2 computers can't even ping each other, then it must be something very basic that I have overseen. Do I need to change nr. 9 in /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config/ ?
