Hey all,
I have a hopefully simple question. In Windows XP, there is the
function to brigde 2 networking connection. This means that a computer
connected to network card A on another computer can communicate with
the computer on network card B as if they were directly connected.
Is there a way to do something similar under Linux? My setup is the
following:
My computer that is running Suse 9.0, has 2 networking cards, one
(eth0) is connected to a router and the other (eth1) is connected to
another computer. How would I go about setting it up, so that the
computer connected to eth1 can access the router in order to gain
access to the internet and to the computers connected to the router?
The router has the address 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and the other
computers 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0.

Thank you very much in advance!

Sebastian
