Hi all,

I have a system with Suse 8.1 and 2 NICs, eth0 is my private LAN1, eth1 a public LAN2.

The configuration (using yast) is: fixed IP adress for eth0 and dhcpd for this LAN1.

Now I've got 2 problems:
1. when I set eth1 to DHCP, I do not get an IP adress from the server. (A Windows machine connected to the same LAN port receives one).

2. As I do not receive the address, I set one manually for eth1. Now I can ping devices in both LAN1 and LAN2. IP forwarding is activated. Firewall is set to eth1 is external and eth0 is internal. My clients in LAN1 receive correct IP adresses and the correct gateway address (IP address of eth0). From my clients I can ping eth0, but no address in LAN2 can be ping'd or http'd.

What did I miss to set up? Does routing not work? Does the firewall block everything

thanks,
Harry
