Hello folks,

I tried to forward the IP from my PC to use Inetrnet in laptop also and succeded. But after that I couldn't see my windows partitons from Linux. I use Suse 9.1 Pro. The things I have done are:

1. Setup DNS server
2. Setup DHCP server
3. Setup Name server
4. Edited Suse firewall to allow my laptop to access internet.

the error while booting is as follows:

it's quite a mess.
