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.
Thanks, all IPs were assigned by router (192.168.1.1) uniquely, but it was a DHCP issue. Got it working by statically assigning my home PC with 192.168.1.222 and setting default gw accordingly. All other wireless PCs/laptop are still DHCP. Found that every time I fiddled with the home PC network stuff it will renegotiate a new IP from the router (NetworkManager is nice to a point), switching between 192.168.1.104 and 192.168.1.103. Guess its more correct to give your internet router PC a static IP, du :) Thanks for the help E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
