Hi, I have a working network. It consists of a Hardware WLAN Router (FM114P Netgear) which is connected to the Internet (ADSL Modem Zyxel 642ME II). Through WLAN I have 4 XP computers and one Suse 9.0 Computer connected. This is working fine (LAN wise and internet wise). Now I try to connect a new XP Computer to the Suse 9.0 computer (Cross LAN Cable). In the end I want this computer to be one part of the network (LAN and internet connection) and run into a few problems. The actual konfiguration is shown below. I can ping the new XP computer from Suse. I can ping the Suse computer from XP. The hardware router can not be reached by a ping (192.168.0.1). Questions: - Why does LAN port 2 of the Suse machine gets subnet 192.168.0.96? . How does the routing table on Suse have to look like? - Do I have to configure DNS Adresse on SUSE or the new XP machine? - Do I have change the routing konfiguration on the hardware router? Thank for helping me out Christian Actual konfiguration: - WLAN Router FM114P - WAN Port MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6f IP Address 80.238.131.252 DHCP PPPoE IP Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Domain Name Server 1 DNS: 62.65.128.10 2 DNS: 62.65.128.15 - LAN Port MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e IP Address 192.168.0.1 DHCP ON IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 - Linux SUSE - LAN Port 1 (WLAN MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e Subnet 192.168.0.0 IP Address 192.168.0.3 (Automatic DHCP, but always 192.168.0.3) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 - LAN Port 2 (LAN) MAC Address 00:09:5b:2b:d8:6e Subnet 192.168.0.96 IP Address 192.168.0.97 (Manual) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Manual) - Win XP (Through Lan Port 2 with Suse machine connected) IP Address 192.168.0.98 (Fix) Gateway 192.168.0.97 (Suse) IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.240 (Fix)
