Re: Routing Problem



Have U tried asking Fred? He's using Suse, so he might know.

Greetings,

My primary box, running SUSE Linux 10.0 is doubling as my router. I can get
my laptop running SUSE 10.0 to connect to the Internet through this primary
box. However, I have not been able to successfully connect to the Internet
from an Ubuntu 5.10 box on my LAN. Running a single distro environment is
not feasible for my situation, but at least there are no Windows boxes.
Anyway, here's my basic info.

The primary box has two NICs, one connects to Roadrunner via DHCP, and the
internal NIC provides DHCP service to the internal LAN. The Ubuntu box is
getting it's IP address from the SUSE box just fine. It even lists the SUSE
box as its name server. Yet, it doesn't see the external NIC.

When I ping the external NIC, I get a "network unreachable" message. When I
first installed Ubuntu, I had no need to share the connection, and did not
configure a default route. I believe that is where the problem lies, but am
not sure what to do about it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Don
