- 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
Ok, you've defined the subnet 192.168.0.x, 0 <= x <= 255 here.
- 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)
This is a part of the earlier defined subnet. Only the set routing priority will define if the address 192.168.0.240 will be expected on LAN1 or LAN2.
- 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)
Nothing wrong with this in itself, but if you try to access the main router, the router cannot find this machine. According to its subnet definition this address is on its own subnet, not behind your SuSE router. You'll need to make sure that your subnets don't overlap, and to set up a proper routing table for each subnet in your routers. It's that or use NAT in your SuSE router, but I don't know if that'll make you happy. :) Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
