From the NetVista, I can ping this computer (by IP only, I don't have a DNS server), I can ping the router, and I can browse (Konqi) the router's internal (admin) web pages. I can also ping the NetVista from
You need to check the NetVista's DNS setting. Make sure that THOSE IPs are accessable (pingable) from the NetVista. Chances are they are not. Also, check that your default gateway is set too (/sbin/route -n).

Two PCs with SuSE 9.2 connect to the LAN side of a D-Link DI-704 residential router. The router provides DHCP and basic port-closer firewall, and connects (WAN side) via ADSL to my ISP. (Router takes care of PPPoE with ISP.) One PC (this one, from which I'm writing) has been successfully connecting to the internet for years using exactly this setup (D-Link and ADSL modem). The other PC is an old IBM NetVista (Pentium 3) that we just acquired. I loaded 9.2 onto it yesterday, so probably overlooked something in setup. this PC. LAN addresses are the default 192.168... range. But I cannot see the internet and cannot reach even my ISP's home page (host not found) from the NetVista. The router has the basic port-blocking firewall with just about everything closed. I have switched off the SuSE firewall in the NetVista until I'm able to browse. No effect. I don't do this very often. What obvious next step am I overlooking? What setup is missing for the NetVista to look past the router to browse the web (and to perform YOU updates...)??
