Hey Tia, i'm assuming that u've configured ur ethernet device (ie the linux box is being accessed by the rest of the lan) what i'd do next would be install a firewall (The SuSE firewall that comes with suse is good enough and not difficult to configure). So with the firewall running, set up the linux box with the internet connection (i'm assuming u've already done that) then just configure the rest of the computers on the LAN to use the linux box as a gateway by pointing them to the linux box's ip. ;-) as u set up the suse firewall, you'll see it's a matter of 'yes' or 'no' good luck! jorge.

Hi everybody
I am a newbe in Linux, maybe my question will be to stupid for you but, actually I am trying to use our linux box as a gateway to connect our small lan to Internet, actually fetchmail and sendmail are working fine also squid for http, but we need another protocols. does anybody know where can I find articles on configuring this box as a gateway or maybe how to set up a socks proxy server
TIA
