SuSE: Dlink Access Point: How to let SuSE 9.1 box fetch the webpages for wlan request
The situation is actually pretty simple, and I'm slightly embarrased to ask... I've probably just overlooked the important parts in YaST:
I've got a normal PC with 2 ethernet cards. 1 is connected to my DSL modem and the other one is connected to a D-Link DWL-2000AP+ Wireless Access Point (which has one ethernet port and no router functionality). The PC has no other direct WLAN access. The DWL is set up as an access point and broadcasts an invitation to an unencrypted network.
I can connect with my PC to the internet fine, and I can access the router setup (which is provided via a HTTP interface by the router).
Likewise, I can access the router configuration from my Wlan-enabled Zodiac (PalmOS).
However if I request ANYTHING else, doesn't matter if it's a webpage, the mldonkey webinterface (local) or an Apache hosted file... I either get a not found or cannot connect error.
So, I somehow have to get the access point to forward the requests to my linux pc and I have to get the linux pc to forward the requests to the dsl modem.
Well, the usual question: Any ideas?
