I'm new to Linux and just installed Suse 9.0 on a computer.
I've been running a small Windows network in my home. My primary computer
(Win XP) has a dial-up modem I use to connect to the internet. Once dialed
in, I can automatically access the internet from other Windows (XP & 98)
computer on the network.
I installed Suse 9.0 on a new computer with a connection to my home network.
After installation Suse recognized the network and I can see my Windows
computers in Suse. I can't, however, access the internet through the network
like I can with the other computers (after dialup connection has been
established).
I'm not so intersted in sharing folders/files between my Win & Linus
computers, but I certainly would like to access the internet from any of
them (and also share printers, but that's for later).
I'm a real linux neophyte so probably need some handholding to figure this
out. Any suggestions how to start?
Thanks in advance.
JM
