    I've given up on getting my wireless lan card to work but am now
    confronted with another networking problem. I'm hoping someone can help.
    In V9.3, I was able, by some magical process, to assign a fixed IP
    address for use in my small local network and, at the same time, use
    DHCP provided by my ISP to go outside my local network to the Internet.
    I don't seem to be able to "do the magic" under 10.0. I'm either missing
    a critical step or the system has been changed. Here's my setup:

    My local network is Ethernet and is implemented with a Linksys router
    switch. The router switch connects to the cable via a cable modem. I've
    loaded SUSE 10.0 on a non-critical laptop. The laptop connects to my lan
    via a PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet card. (If you need any technical details,
    let me know.) At this point, everything is hard wired.

    There are three linux machines, but only one running 10.0, on my lan.
    Each machine's /etc/hosts file have all three of:

    192.168.100.10 toshiba.site toshiba
    192.168.100.20 linux.site linux
    192.168.100.30 camino.site camino

    The two 9.3 machine's NICs are configured as DHCP. They can access the
    Internet and can ping in either direction to/from each other. When
    toshiba is configured as DHCP, toshiba can access the Internet but
    cannot ping either of the other machines & vice versa. If I change
    toshiba to fixed IP addresses, I can ping everything on the local
    network but cannot access the Internet.

    If you see any obvious mistakes in there, please let me know. If you
    have any thoughts on how to proceed, let me know that as well. Any
    assistance will be sincerely appreciated.
