Good Day

I am new to this group. I have received an iBurst Desktop unit and got it working under MS. I have install an old P1-166 that was lying around at home with SuSE 9.0 (I know there is newer versions out there). I am making use on 2 network cards, on the one I have connected the iBurst unit and on the other I have connected my laptop. I have enabled ip-forwarding on both cards and configured DSL to make use of pppoe. When I open IE on the laptop I can see the green led flashing on the iBurst unit, but no data being displayed on IE.

If anyone out there can assist me in solving this issue, it would be greatly appreciated

Since you using such and old version of SuSE - I'm guessing its a dedicated firewall/connection server?

If that is the case then I would strongly recommend that you rather install one of the custom firewall distros - such as IPCop which will be lighter on the resources of such and old machine and it is configured out-the-box with all the ip-forwarding and pppoe scripts that are needed :)
 
I am now able to connect to the internet from the linux box, but stil unable to route between the network cards

Just installed suse 10.0 and struggled to create a pppoe connection with iBurst UT-D via ethernet

Any ideas?

Did you configure the firewall for NAT and start it? If you just have forwarding enabled on the cards without NAT, your packets going out will have your internal IP as the source.
 
Got Suse 10.0 working with iBurst Ethernet
Now I need to get my skype and samba working
 
skype is easy, go to www.skype.com - follow the links to the linux download. Download version 1.3 - the rpm for SUSE 9.x - it works perfectly on 10.0 and 10.1
 
Ronald: from your laptop can you resolve DNSes?
Native: To set up SAMBA on SuSE 10.0 it's quite simple using YaST > Network Services > SAMBA Server
