I never use this excuse normally but: I have XP for the moment on dual boot, very rarely use it. However after setting up the 'sharing' for a 98 machine downstairs (my daughters), the connection works fine. That said.
I had Mandrake up till last tuesday and it had a gui for setting up sharing of internet access which worked fine till reboot, then I had to reconfigure it. Since then I am back with Suse for a while, giving it another thumping, but it will not share the cable access. /sbin/route says:: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.68.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet1 192.168.4.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet8 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 CPE-203-45-128- * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default CPE-203-45-128- 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 >From the machine downstairs I can ping, 192.168.0.1 (this machine as per ifconfig) I can ping 203.45.140.190; I cannot ping anything past this machine. I have an IP set there of 192.168.0.2 plus netmask, Gateway 192.168.0.1..... I seem to remember possibly 2 defaults on the mandrake when it was working. So what is it I am mising and how do I correct it. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
