[Wylug-help] IP settings/basic help

[Roger Greenwood]

Hello all,

I am really struggling with something that should be so simple:-

I have a small network of 2 computers, 1 with SuSE9.2, the other with SuSE9.3, 
connected via a small hub. 

This works fine.

I have now obtained a wireless router, to give me wireless access for my 
laptop, but I can't even ping the router.

It is a netgear MR814v2, and works fine when used at work, on a similar small 
network - wired and wireless connections are ok. I can also connect to the 
router by ethernet and wireless from the laptop, but all attempts from the 
linux network fail. Ethernet patch cable tested ok.

Network addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 for the 2 linux machines.
Network (LAN) address for the router is 192.168.0.7

Netmasks are all 255.255.255.0

Surely if this kit is connected together via a hub, they should be able to 
ping each other ?

Ping is enabled on the router and the linux boxes, but reports destination 
host unreachable.

All settings to date have been done using yast, but I don't mind doing manual 
changes if I knew what to do.

What am I missing ?
