Hi,

This is my first post to the group. I hope the question isn't one that is asked all the time. I run a Suse 8.2 on a laptop that is also my only internet connection. I am trying to get my Windows PC to connect to the internet through my Laptop. My IP settings are as follows:

Laptop - 192.168.0.1 - 255.255.255.0 Windows - 192.168.0.2 - 255.255.255.0

I have tried using the Suse firewall to enable masquerading, but nothing seems to be working. The two machines can see each other.

Many thanks in advance.

You need to set the default gateway of the Windows box to 192.168.0.1, if the masquerading is turned on all should be well then. If not post the output of the following to the group

On the SuSE machine. The last 20 or so lines from /var/log/messages just after you have tried the connection.

and the contents of /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2

On the windows machine, The results of tracert 66.102.11.99 and the results of ipconfig
