    Here's my setup, with one PC able to browse, and one not.

    Two PCs with SuSE 9.2 connect to the LAN side of a D-Link DI-704
    residential router. The router provides DHCP and basic port-closer
    firewall, and connects (WAN side) via ADSL to my ISP. (Router takes care
    of PPPoE with ISP.)

    One PC (this one, from which I'm writing) has been successfully
    connecting to the internet for years using exactly this setup (D-Link and
    ADSL modem). The other PC is an old IBM NetVista (Pentium 3) that we
    just acquired. I loaded 9.2 onto it yesterday, so probably overlooked
    something in setup.

    From the NetVista, I can ping this computer (by IP only, I don't have
    a DNS server), I can ping the router, and I can browse (Konqi) the router's
    internal (admin) web pages. I can also ping the NetVista from this PC.
    LAN addresses are the default 192.168... range.
    But I cannot see the internet and cannot reach even my ISP's home page
    (host not found) from the NetVista.

    The router has the basic port-blocking firewall with just about everything
    closed.

    I have switched off the SuSE firewall in the NetVista until I'm able to
    browse. No effect.

    I don't do this very often. What obvious next step am I overlooking?
    What setup is missing for the NetVista to look past the router to browse
    the web (and to perform YOU updates...)?? Any help appreciated -- the
    wife is tapping her foot impatiently. . . :-)
