I had this working under 10.0.
I have an Internet connection via my cellphone/mobile on my home PC, working fine. I have a laptop connection via wireless to the home PC network. Home PC = 192.168.1.104, default gw via modem0 Laptop = 192.168.1.102, default gw via 192.168.1.104
I have ticked off "IP Forwarding" and "IP Masquerading" in Yast on the home PC (no other changes made).
I have setup the wireless box to provide the default gateway (192.168.1.104) and DNS entries to the clients (192.168.1.102 in this case).
It sounds to me like you have two devices configured with the same IP address. Usually, the wireless router will have it's own IP address, like 192.168.1.1 Then it assigns addresses to the various computers on the network. You just tell the router what range of IP addresses you want it to assign. This all depends on your using DHCP to configure IP addresses, using the built-in DHCP server in your router. If, on the other hand, you are using static IP addresses that don't change, you need to do the following: In Yast, go to the network card in each computer and set the static IP address, the address of the DNS servers (from your ISP), and the gateway address of the network (normally your router's IP address). With a wireless connection, you may also have to set the WEP or WPA (recommended) passwords before it connects. After you make all the changes, be sure that you reboot. You also need to make sure your router is not configured, for example, to reject connections without the correct hardware address for the NIC in each computer. (The Network Interface Card has a unique identifying address). Hope you find this helpful. I've had to go through it, too.
All firewalls are off at present (will bring it up later, when everything works)
I cannot get my laptop to connect? Where do I start to debug? (how do I check that IP Masq + Forw is really active)
