(4)If I have eth0 set up for the local network using a static 192.168.0.10 & the lookup set for 192.168.0.1 eth0 works just fine w/the LAN & ppp0 will connect, but there is absolutely no modem throughput. The hub lights flash when I attempt to access the internet, and 'ip forwarding' is turned off.
Now-then, I like SuSE just fine in lots of respects but the fact that it won't do what M$ Windoze does readily is beyond my comprehension. I can only believe that there must be *something* I'm missing, but I cannot figure out what!
Any help really appreciated!! ...CH
Think you might want to setting up SuSEFirewall2, not only does it protect your box, but it also does masquerading, worked well for me. Set external device as ppp0 and internal as eth0. By the way, throwing MS into your e-mail may have adverse affect (I ignored it...). Matt
