Well I can tell you the steps that worked for me, but I don't really feel like I know what I'm doing so I wasn't comfortable adding anything to the wiki. Feel free to do it yourself, though. I don't know exactly what those three lines do, but if I execute each of them as root in a terminal, the FreeRunner can access the internet. In fact, I made a shell script that I run every time I plug in my FreeRunner. Everything works for me if I just run the following script, as root, on the host computer running openSUSE 11.0. #/bin/bash ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0 iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & I actually omit the "ifconfig" line because I set it up in yast like I described in an earlier e-mail. I strongly suspect if you knew what you were doing, you could set up yast (or perhaps the firewall?) so that all of this is automatic, but I haven't had time to figure out how. Right now I have to run those commands every time I plug it in. I should also mention that you probably don't need the "route" line, but my router at home uses 192.168.0.x addresses, so I need to run that command so openSUSE knows how to find the FreeRunner. Also, I have to change /etc/network/interfaces on the FreeRunner itself to get DNS working, but that's covered on the wiki and isn't OS dependent. Are there really no people on this mailing list who use SUSE and know more about this than me?
