Hello! Good to see you here from linux-users list.
Yes, I have the personal package and the manual only mentions it is not covered., therefore I went to the SuSE Knowledge Portal and read the mini-tutorial, part 2 on home networks.
Regards,
Keith B. <snipped> For a dial-up connection to be shared via IP MasQ. I'd download the SuSEFIrewall 2 from suse.com/~marc/ Install it as directed, make sure the package IP TABLES, WVDial, and PPP

Then edit your rc.config (YAST-> System Administraton -> Change Configuration File) as follows: FW_DEV_EXT/WORLD="ppp0" FW_DEV_INT="eth0" IP_DYNIP="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_NETS="internel-Ip-addies/24" (I use 90.0.0.0/24) FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_STOP_KEEP_ROUTING_STATE="yes" PPPD_DOD_START="yes" START_FW2="yes" Now hit F-10 it wil run SuSEConfig, up to Network Configuration and then Configure a PPP Network. Setup WVDial as needed. THis should provide a basic Internet Connection Sharing setup with Dial On Demand. If ya get failures when it tries to make a PPP connection examine /var/log/messages for entries like modprobe unable to locate module tty-ldisc-3. If these exist then follow these instructions and then reboot. Edit your /etc/modules.conf near the end of it you should see: "alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp" Change it to: "alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async" "alias ppp0 ppp" Change it to: "alias ppp0 ppp_async" "alias ppp1 ppp" Change it to: "alias ppp1 ppp_async" This is done because kernel 2.4.x added improvments to the PPP modules. Now your client boxes will need to have an entry for the gateway which containes the internel IP address of the IP Masq box. If ya need feel free to email me directly as I have this running locally.
