Hi Woops mistake no 1 watch that subject line when sending a message (I appologies Sorry). I am rather new to this list and I have one of the most basic questions that seem to go beyond the installation support offered by SuSE.... Please could someone post me a very simple setup for configuring a gateway to connect 3 linux boxes to the internet where the modem is only connected to one box... ie internet <--->modem<--> box1 <---> box2 <--> box3 So that all the users can connect to the internet. my network is setup with box1 192.168.10.1 box2 192.168.10.2 box3 192.168.10.3 hostname box1 = linuxbox1 hostname box2 = linuxbox2 hostname box3 = linuxbox3 All I need is edit this file .... type this into it etc.. etc... Any ideas ? Regards Matt
