Suse with Cable modem

Setting Suse up on Cable modem....

Greetings,

I have a static assigned IP address that I currently have configured on a Linksys router, works good. I can get out via my Win200 box and my Suse box. I wanted to use ipchains so I can log stuff and just try it. First off I wanted to simply connect the linux box to the cable modem to verify the connection to my provider works, no ipchains yet. I cannot get it to connect

:(

I made my hostname the provider assigned one, my eht1 interface is the ip they gave me and the mask, etc. My default gateway is the same as what I had on the linksys, in fact all the settings are. My route is the same as my linksys to, I basically have default, one for 24.x.x.0 and my private 192.168.0.0

I can ping my internal boxes fine via eth0 route (private)

Anybody have any clues as to why I cant seem to get out. Pinging the gateway just yeilds in 100% packet loss. I also reset and even unplugged the cable modem as I thought it may be looking for a mac to connect to, no luck.

Any idears appreciated.

your router will have your ip that cable co gives you. You will need to assign eth0 and internal ip...192.168.1.X... then in the file /etc/resolv.conf add these lines
nameserver dns.ip.add.rss
nameserver dns.ipa.ddr.ss2

default gateway will be the static ip of the router.... that should be it.

personally, I think you should get rid of the router and use your linux machine to route for you. Then use an iptables firewall.

good luck anyway

Yep, he's right. I have the exact same setup with a Linksys router.
