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 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                        Dummy/gateway
Netmask                         Device
XXX.186.215.21               XXX.186.215.1
255.255.255.255                 eth0
192.168.1.1                        0.0.0.0
255.255.255.0                     eth1
default   XXX.186.215.1

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

Thanks,
Fred
