Alright I am back ladies and gents, and I'm sorry if I am asking a question that might have already been answered but I didn't see anything exactly like what's I've got in the forums so here we go.

I am happily building my home network and it's up to six computers of both windows XP & SuSE Linux 10.1 machines. The other day I just completed building my server (AMD 2500+, 512 MB RAM, 100GB HDD) So I went ahead and decided that while I had Windows Server 2K I would rather use SUSE 10.1 for my server OS so put two network cards in the server in the hopes I could aslo use it as a firewall.

This is what I am hopeing for: a) connect DSL modem to one network card and b) connect router to other (router obviously connected to other computers on LAN) I want a domain controller, in lieu of workgroup, I'm not sure about DHCP as the DSL modem currently hadnles that so maybe y'all can reccomend. But anyhow I have no idea how to configure this as I have little if no experience on server admin. Like I mentioned I've got six computer of whom all need to access the internet and I wouild prefer them doing so throgh the server with the setup I've mentioned.... so any ideas or reccomendations? Thanks guys & gals!


Bug

I really would like some help in setting up a SUSE server .... anyone????

O.K. I guess I'll figure it out on my own like I mentioned all my computers need internet access and I've waited all weekend for at least some advice maybe if I was using Slackware I'd get more respnoses

You get more responses when you post specific questions and problems and tell us what isn't working yet.
Good luck!

O.K. Sorry about the confusion ... here's my problem: I've got a Linksys mixed router with four wired ports, I've got a Westtell External DSL modem I've got a server (beefed up desktop) with OpenSUSE 10.1 I need to know exactly how I can use it as a domain controller for aproxatmatly six SUSE 10.1 & Windows XP Pro machines so all the computers get to the outside world i.e. internet via the server. I can get the machines to talk to one another as long as I treat the *server* as a client but then it sort of isn't doing it's job so I would like to get the router and DSL modem plugged into the serve so I can have a simple web server, router, firewall, & file server all in one nice little package. I just can't seem to figure out how to set it all up and I guess that's my I didn't ask a specific question becuase I don't have one I just need a general breakdown of hot to configure it in the way I've mentioned here. I will be happy to provide any more hardware logs or system logs if anyone would be so kind to walk me through my first Linux server config! Thanks guys I still have faith just a little aggravated is all!

I think that Linux Questions is an awesome place however since people don't feel like explaining this I went elsewhre and found THIS
