LenZ,
What is the status of this development? [Not nagging here but I
*think* this works on RedHat, but I could be wrong.] I too wish
to use a SuSE box as my gateway between RoadRunner and my local
network. Is there *any* configuration that will work? I thought
I read something about having two dissimilar NICs (and drivers)
made things work. I'm about to buy a VA Research system and may
have to resort to RedHat (e-gads) if there is no way around
this! The RR system requires DHCP - but how about if I run DHCP
on my local network as well? Will SuSE run a DHCP client on one
NIC and a DHCP server on another? That is to say, is the problem
mainly with having a *static IP* on one NIC while running DHCP
on the other? Can we expect a fix for this soon?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
