[Sderby] Suse gateway help needed!

[Matthew Humphreys]

Hi there!

I am having difficultly connecting to my satelite broadband connection
which I shared over a wireless link from the other side of the village.

Let me explain....

My local network operates on the 192.168.0.x subnet.

The link to the satelite is on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

My lan is mailnly xp based.

I have suse box with 2 n/w cards in it - one is configured as
192.168.0.122 (internal), the other as 192.168.1.228 (external).

Into the external card is plugged a wireless router (192.168.1.227)
which in turns talks to the box controling the satelite - 192.168.1.1.

I can ping both cards from the winxp boxes, and ping them from the suse
box.  I can ping the wireless routed from the suse box, but not from the
winxp boxes.

I have told xp to use 192.168.0.122 as its default gateway.

The linux box can sorf/browse over the sat. link, but I cannot use it
over the network.  IP forwarding is enabled on the suse box.

To get me out of jail,  I can installed squid on the suse box, but this
doesn't help with the email collection from the individual clients.

Please can someone offer some help?

I am in Austrey - is anyone local enough to see if they can help.

I am a definite novice, so need simple instructions!  Webmin is
installed!

Many thanks for your help,


Matthew.
