Hi,
I'm trying to make a linux(SuSE) firewall/router/gateway for my for my wife's WinME box and my SuSE box. I've scanned the SuSE manual, "Linux Networking: Clearly Explained" and "Linux Network Servers". After all that I'm still was what still in the dark.
So I've got my firewall/gateway/router box.
with
External eth0 24.x.x.x(IP), 24.x.x.1(gateway), crxxxx-a.slnt1.on.wave.home.com(Domain)
Internal eth1 192.x.x.1(IP), 192.168.100.7(gateway), geeko-gate.crxxxx-a.slnt1.on.wave.home.com(Domain)
My Box 192.x.x.2(IP), 192.168.100.7(gateway), geeko-deville.crxxxx-a.slnt1.on.wave.home.com(Domain)
My Wife's Box 192.x.x.3(IP), 192.168.100.7(gateway), geeko-babe.crxxxx-a.slnt1.on.wave.home.com(Domain)
Well that is the present setup. However I seem to be missing something, because this neither geeko-deville nor geeko-babe can get to the outside work. I did an ifconfig and the two nics seem to be working fine as far as I can tell. So if you have and bright ideas as to where to go next please let me know. Thanks.
Knew of was forgetting something...DNS! Where is your DNS? Use Yast to set that up, first use your own IP as the default and your own domain name, then add the ones @home gave you. Also, edit /etc/rc.config and make sure DNS and NSCD is set to yes for startup. To start with no reboot do: rcnamed start Matt
