Hi all, don't kill me for this one now... I have tried and tried searched Internet but I can not understand what is wrong. My work computer has SuSE 9.3 and I've been trying to share a dir to my private Windows 2000 Professional machine. What I wanted to do was to set the IP of the SuSe to static. After booting the SuSe it won't connect to internet but it has access to my local network. How is this possible?
I can ping the local servers but not external, host command does not give any results at all. My NETGEAR shows the SuSE as 192.168.111.101 which is a DHCP address but I can ping 192.186.111.54 from my W2K machine which is the IP I tried to set for my SuSE?
What can I do?
Btw the SuSe is in a docking station and the laptop's NIC is not configured, only the docking station NIC. This is how I had it before. (Compaq n600C) I use a NETGEAR WGT624(?) router which all my computers are connected to.

You (as in your computer and setup) have managed to get both a DHCP address and a static address at the same time. Quite cool. Doesn't work well as you point out. Is the NetGear your firewall/router device? Log into it and cut back the number of DHCP leases it hands out. Restrict it to a smaller range that doesn't include 192.168.111.54. Use say 192.168.111.100 thru 192.168.111.254. This is also a case where I strongly advise a hard reboot of a system. Even power off, pull the power plug for 20-30 seconds and then power up. Stan
