Oops, missed ping, but meant netscrape <G>.

Sorry, I'm using SuSE 5.2 with kernal 2.0.33. Both systems are 486s. Opus
is 66mhz with 8mb ram & CW is a 100mhz with 32mb ram. I have the firewall
software on both machines but turned off.
I believe I've got everything set up like you said. When I ping the net
with Opus, no problem. But with CW I get this:
------------
CW:/root # ping 195.189.80.67
PING 195.189.80.67 (195.189.80.67): 56 data bytes
--- 195.189.80.67 ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
CW:/root #

Doing route on CW I get this:

Here is my hosts file on CW:

192.168.17.41 Opus
192.168.17.42 CW.straubing.baynet.de CW
CW:/root #
------------------------------------
Here is the MSQ part of Opus' rc.config file:
_________________________
IP_FORWARD="yes"
MSQ_START="yes"
# MSQ_NETWORKS="192.168.17.42"
MSQ_NETWORKS="192.168.0.0/24"
MSQ_DEV="eth0"
MSQ_MODULES="ip_masq_cuseeme ip_masq_ftp ip_masq_irc ip_masq_quake
ip_masq_raudio ip_masq_vdolive"

Ok, Opus has no problems with pinging the net or pinging CW. But CW does
not get any returns on ping, also when I use lynx or netscape they only
sit there saying "looking up host:XXXX".
Thanks for all you'al help!
