suSE 9.2 to XP SP2 and ICS
I started a thread earlier but it got confused and i thought i could straighten things up if i started over.
Problem: I can't ping XP from SUSE, or connect to internet on SUSE I have a Windows XP box, a 4 port router, a suse 9.2 box , and an Xbox.The XP machine uses a cellphone with usb cable to connect to the internet. The cellphone i don't think is a part of my problem at all, it appears just like a normal modem or NIC would. so, it's {cellphone}->{XP} {XP} -> {Router} <- {suse 9.2} {Xbox} ^-----------------------------^ I have tried the following" 1) Everything setup with DHCP through the router. ICS turned on in XP Result: no internet connection on suse and i can't ping XP from suse, but i can ping SUSE from XP, and every other possible direction. 2) Static IP's Router: 192.168.8.1 Suse: 192.168.8.2 Domain: 192.168.8.1 (and i also tried, 192.168.8.4) XBOX: 192.168.8.3 XP: 192.168.8.4 Domain 192.168.8.1 (& blank ) Result: no internet connection on suse and i can't ping XP from suse, but i can ping SUSE from XP, and every other possible direction. I have the DNS servers on suse set up to the cellphone's dns server. AND , everything is connected to a LAN port on the router i didn't think i could use the WAN port since i dont have a dsl modem or anything. Thanks in advance. The XP box is running SP2 as well, i think that might have something to do with why i can't get a response when i ping it from SUSE. |
the XP firewall IS the problem

Re: suSE 9.2 to XP SP2 and ICS
Actually, the firewall in XP cannot be responsible for the routing problem.
Check your gateway settings on Suse. If you are really hardcore I woud recommend that you install ethereal on the susebox (should be on the CD/DVD) and look at what's happening. Quote:
