Thanks Ric, Have put default gateway in and checked IP forwarding but still no go. I Know i must be doing something really stupid! :-[A quick look indicates Yast-NetworkServices-Routing is would do it.
I have my default gateway identified there, & IP Forwarding is available - it is the Routing Table you, need to configure, I imagine, having not set mine up as a server yet.
Experienced voice may follow..

I am useing Suse 9.1 on two PCs , One conected to the internet by dial up modem the other is waiting in the wings for me to share its connection. All the lan hardware is OK as i have had both previously connected and working with XP & Mandrake. I have tryed static addresses and got them to ping each other but no internet. Cant get dhcp to work either.
Please can someone give me a step by step(easy) way to do this. i dont no anything about networks and get overwhemed when i try to follow and learn the theory.
Thanks jeff
Good luck Rik
Cheers jeff
That probably makes two of us the Jeff :-/
I don't have that system running just now - and whether I'll get to learn it properly is debateable - but a peek into the Routing Table option, once activated, indicated you could set up your devices (eth0 = NIC, ppp = modem..) with addresses etc. That NIC address should then be used as the gateway setting on the client machine, which has a different one, as a rule.
I'm referring you to this page http://www.infohelp.co.nz/lnxdistro.html so you can look under SuSE for some discussion list archives specific to SuSE - some based in the UK, & mostly in English. The SuSE site itself has an extensive knowledgebase to research. If you don't get anywhere from this, after a few days, ask again - I may have had a chance to fathom it properly, or someone may chip in..
All the best
Rik
