SUSE 9.1 internet sharing

Genjix · 11-03-2004, 05:55 PM

i am having trouble accessing the internet through my gateway via my laptop (both SUSE).
after hours of scoring google i cannot see whats wrong.

both machines have firewalls turned off.
gateway machine has ip-forwarding turned on and no gateway ip adress.
it can ping google(using the hostname and an ip adress), and the laptop.

linux:/home/us # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
imsnet-cl12-hg4 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default imsnet-cl12-hg4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

laptop has no ip-forwarding and gateway machines ip adress as its gateway ip adress (:S), it cannot ping google(neither hostname or ip adress), but can ping the gateway machine.

btw to get kppp to work i cp'ed
/etc/ppp/peers/ppp -> /etc/ppp/peers/kppp

have you turned on NAT?

Code:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

thanks after that it i was able to ping 64.179.4.149 from the laptop, so I turned on DNS client on the laptop and DNS server on the pc, and was able to browse google from konqueror.
