I've been trying to get this to work all night, with very nasty results. Today I got DSL installed at home, and my previous setup was my Linux box (SuSE 6.3) serving as a dial-up gateway for the LAN (this NT machine where I'm writting this email at, and a BeOS box). I thought, no sweat. I have two NICs installed as:

What do you know? When the RJ-45 jack is connected to eth0, I can ping the gateway, and my boxen can ping eth0. I can ping my hosts, and I can ping the gateway. When I try pinging anything else (like the ISP's DNS) I get a "Network is unreachable"!?!
I don't know that this is the problem, but you might ask your ISP if they require you to be running PPP-over-Ethernet. This is a fairly common arrangement that supposedly enhances security, although if you have a decent firewall you don't need it and if you don't it will probably delay the hacking of your system by a good 15 seconds. PPPoE software *is* on the SuSE 6.3 boxed set. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
