Snif ..
I'm so freakin close.
It's driving me nuts...

I have a suse 9.2 box, with 2 nics, eth0 and eth1.
On eth0 my cable inet connection
And on eth1 my client machines.

My client machines receive a IP from the dhcp server on the Suse box.
They can visit the webpage on the suse box, but can't get any further than that.
So they can't visit google, but they do have a connection to the suse box.
The suse box can surf on the net with no problem at all.
..Yes, I enabled routing as well. (IP forwarding)

It's driving me nuts since in Mandrake you have this very nice wizard where one can share it's Inet connection in just 5 minutes. In Suse you need to be an expert... which i am not. Because I think I have looked all over the web to find a tutorial that isn't 400 pages thick, I don't know what to do anymore. It's 2 weeks now that I have this machine looking at me with a nasty grin..

Please somebody give me the one missing tip that will make my day..

check /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
check routing table on ALL pc's
check iptables (FARWARD chain)
also check the chain policy for the FORWARD chain
check dns servers are set correcley on ALL pc's
also check that your dhcp server is handing our the right ipaddress for the dns servers wich you are using!
try to ping one of google's ip addresses:
216.239.39.99
216.239.37.99
216.239.57.99

I can't say I see the light after your explanation..

Grrr why does it have to be so damn hard.
Even in $%^ windows you have a share-internet wizard.

you wanna let me ssh in? *grin*
skype me: dihedral
could talk you through it!

That's really nice.
But I seem to have spend my weekend already ...
Maybe next weekend.. if nothing comes in between .. sigh.. life

oe .. ahh

This made my day
