Hi all
New here. NIce to be here.
I have a very similar problem, in fact. i was about to post and ask :-)
I have 2 SuSE 9.1 machines in a home network. The second being a laptop is configured to recieve an IP via dhcp.
This works fine, the problem is that i still can't get to the WWW via the gateway which is also the dhcp server. Attached is my dhcp.conf as well as the output of route. I manage to ping, shh etc. to the gateway, but cannot see the
WWW.
10.0.0.1 is the gateway
How important is the domainname in the scenario as they sometimes differ?
This is not a dns issue as i have it configured via mu dhcp server and i can't reach www using IP either :-(
I am 99% sure the problem is server side as when booting from my "Other O$" partition, just to test of course, i don;t get the WWW connection either.
Thanks
