Sharing internet problem


hi all,

I have two computers, my work computer and my families computer. The family computer has a 56k external modem on it and Suse 8.2. I want to be able to use this connection from my work computer. Because I didn't want to be running wires around the house, I purchased a Dlink router (614) and a Dlink 520+ PCI Adapter.

When I made the jump to linux everything went pretty smoothly except for the Dlink 520+. I eventually got that installed using the acx100 drivers and Craigs tutorial. Now my only problem is that I still can't access the internet from my work computer (although at least I can ping and share stuff with the family computer).

I have the firewall (which i believe takes care of masquerading as well) set up on the Suse (family) machine, so I thought I'd be all ready to go. But I can't ping or resolve a url from outside the network. This is getting frustrating because I dual boot with XP and XP can access the internet through the family (suse) machine, so I know it works.

All I had to set on that was the gateway and dns (from my isp). I have tried to put these into resolv.conf on mandrake (work) computer, but to now avail. Any ideas???

Could you post the output of the route command from the Mandrake (work) system? Make sure that the default gateway is the same as in windows (use 'route print' on the Windows box to look at its routing table)
