Hello all!
On 02/01/05, I started a short thread about setting up a Linux box as a router. Following the various replies received and a bit more Googling around, I have arrived at the following setup which almost works. I think that another little "kvetch" will get us there.
First, I have changed ny setup to a SuSE 9.2 box acting as a server (including Samba) and an ethernet link to the ADSL.
For the network, I use eth0 with the fixed IP of 192.168.1.100. It has the DHCP server up and running, with an available range of 192.168.1.101-254. The network adapter eth0 along with the adapters of the clients are attached to a hub.
The ADSL unit is connected directly to eth1 on the server, and is set up to get an IP address from the attached Alcatel ST 510 unit. It always comes up with 10.0.0.1
There is a WIn 2K client and a multi partitioned laptop with Win XP or SuSE 9.2 as required. For our purposes it will be booted as a Linux client. Both clients are set to use DHCP to get a host address, and for automatic DNS address acquisition.
As things stand, the LAN works fine. I have correct internet function from the server itself (otherwise you wouldn't be reading this). From the clients, I can see the ADSL modem page on 10.0.0.138, but I cannot get any further i.e. the clients see the modem but can not get any further. That's the missing "kvetch".
Now for the technical stuff: To get as far as I did, I followed the instruction in the HOWTO,
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11505.html
Despite its total SuSE orintation, is should be of general interest, in that it caters for most of the issues raised in the previous thread.
Here is the ifconfig output (stripped of irrelevant stuff):

(Sorry about the wrap around)
For what it's worth, I connect through Internet Zahav with
DNS 1: 192.116.202.222 DNS 2: 213.8.172.83 Gateway: 213.8.255.155
Here is reolv.conf as modified by ppd:
search lan nameserver 192.116.202.222 nameserver 213.8.172.83
I apologise for being a bit long winded - but having all this stuff up front should save many subsequent exchanges.
Cheers,
Daniel
