Linux cant find router - I think


Here is my setup. I have two computers computers connected to a windows router. This win router is connected to a cable modem and to my RM's Linksys router below me. He has three puters hooked to that router. I loaded SUSE 8.2 on one of my computers. I can connect to the internet with Linux if I plug my computer directly into the cable modem, no router between them. But once I hook the router back in I can't get out.

If someone could direct me in the right direction. I just have no idea where to start to see if I can configure linux to use the router. I can't find a Network settings icon .

A weird thing is that the windows router is configured with the IP 192.168.2.1 . I can log into this router from windows by typing the IP into explorer. But when I type this into Konquerer in Linux, I get the login screen for my RM's linksys router, which has an IP of 192.168.2.2.

Dont make no sense to me.

this is linux...get used to the command line. All of your network settings are located at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for each of your respective interfaces. There will be a "ifcfg-eth0" or eth1, or whatever for your interface, edit this file and this is where your can put settings such as a static IP or a gateway.

--hope this helps
