Now how can I bridge those cards so that the other computer can connect to the Internet as well?
Use SuSEfirewall2 to masquerade the internal network to the external wlan0.
Joe, Just to make sure that I understand this right. I go to Yast>> security>> Firewall and set this up with the right mac addresses.
Yes, just make sure you enable "Forward Traffic and Do Masquerading" in the setup, and you should be online with the other computer.
After I've done that there will be a link between the two networks
This is accomplished by the crossover cable. With this you should be able to communicate on your local lan.
and my other computer has access to the Internet as well?
This is accomplished by the firewall's forwarding and masquerading, since the IP address of the internal machine cannot send packets to the internet directly.
Sorry if it sounds a bit stupid and I appreciate your help. Here on our little Island I'm the only one who runs Linux and I'm not an expert by far.
No problem. BTW, even though I just checked out Yast's firewall setup, I still prefer to edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 directly, as it has so many very helpful comments in it which sometimes you cannot see in the gui. In your situation, though, the 9.2 Yast seems quite good and should get you going very easily. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
