From: Kit on 18 Dec 2005 14:22 I have set up a 2 PC home network using a Netgear DG632 router, and both PCs are able to connect to the LAN using Windows, but I haven't got it right for Linux yet. One of the PCs, which has dual boot of Win98SE and SuSE 8.2 / KDE, responds to ipconfig as : Windows 98 IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . : KITCOMP DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Node Type . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast NetBIOS Scope ID. . . . . . : IP Routing Enabled. . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . : No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS : No 0 Ethernet adapter : Description . . . . . . . . : PPP Adapter.

(This PC previously connected via dial-up.) Thanks Kit

Tell us about: - what driver you have configured, what's in modules.conf - whats in resolv.conf, - your current runlevel, - firewall settings - are network services running? and we might be able to help. Others will doubtless think of other stuff to look at but that should do for starters. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | org | Zappa fan & glider pilot

Have you got a default route to your gateway router (seems to be 192.168.0.1 from the windows config). If you're not sure, post the output from "route". In SuSE 8.2, you can use YaST to configure routing. Network Devices -> Network Card -> Change already configued device -> select eth0, then edit -> Routing and enter 192.168.0.1 as Default Gateway. -- Alex Monro, Exeter, UK Life is like Windows - the documentation alexm at pobox dot com (No HTML) is useless, and it crashes horribly Running on GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) from time to time...

Is this the command "netstat"? How about routing? Have you got a default route to your gateway router (seems to be 192.168.0.1 from the windows config). If you're not sure, post the output from "route".
