apt is pretty smart about automatically resolving dependencies, but there are some situations that simply cannot be handled automatically. Here's what I usually do: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade And then for cases like yours, where packages have been kept back, I add them a few at a time, to determine the source of apt's confusion. I your case, I would do: apt-get install ae cpp cvs distributed-net if apt complains about that combination, I would fall back, one package at a time, until apt is successful: apt-get install ae cpp cvs apt-get install ae cpp apt-get install ae Repeat until everything is up to date.

I'm a newbie using SuSE 6.4.

I want to network 3 computers using my SuSE Linux box as a = firewall.

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

eth0 with my DSL line's IP address, and

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 192.168.2.1

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

I've played with these setting every which way but the right=20 way because I still don't get a connection.

What do I need to put in the route.conf file to get this network = up?

Right now I have the following and its not working:

#destination = =20 =20 Dummy/gateway = &= nbsp; =20 Netmask = &= nbsp; Device

XXX.186.215.21 = XXX.186.215.1 = &= nbsp; 255.255.255.25= 5 = eth0

192.168.1.1 = =20 0.0.0.0 = &= nbsp; &n= bsp; 255.255.255.0 &n= bsp; &nb= sp; =20 eth1

default XXX.186.215.1

When I run "ifconfig" the out put looks ok.

Thanks,

Fred
