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


No, but my thinking was that, if I could get the SUSE laptop to connect to the
Internet, but not the Ubuntu box, then I might need to fix something on the
Ubuntu box. The Knoppix box doesn't connect either - only the laptop.

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
