Newbie Networking Linux

[Kevin Brown]

If you are using a NetMask of 255.255.255.0 for your internal address space then
192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.3.1 are not on the same network.  Try
either changing the netmask to 255.255.0.0 or change your ip's (192.168.2.1 ->
192.168.1.2, 192.168.3.1 -> 192.168.1.3), that will put them on the same
network.  For those boxes the default gateway should be 192.168.1.1 (the
internal ip of your linux box).  

> I have two nic(s) installed in the SuSE linux box and have set them as:

> eth1 with an IP address of 192.168.1.1

> I have set the nic's address on the other computer (OS is WIN98) as

> The third computer will be 192.168.3.1 (it will be a linux/win box).
