easier to understand</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>****************************************************************************</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>under "detailed setup" there are 2 buttons called "
hostname and domain" and " routing" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on the hostname and domains window it asks
for hostname and domain and it has as default, respectivley, Linux and
Local</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>below that it has "nameserver list" which says
YAST_ASK</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and Domain search list which is blank</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>******************************************************************************</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on the router button the window displays a prompt
for Default gateway which is blank</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>below it is Expert Configuration where it asks for
the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>|Destination | Dumy/Gateway | Netmask |
Device|</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>**************************************************************************************</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that is what it asks for and now for my network
config</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my outside connection or "WAN" ( as linksys puts
it) is roadrunner</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IP: you dont need to know</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subnet mask: 255.255.248.0</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>than a Default gateway and DNS ip's </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i have win2000 adv. server on here already and am
using a live eval. of SuSe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the internet works fine with win2000 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the router recognises me when i am using win2000 as
192.168.1.5 and the gateway as 192.168.1.1 (as it should be)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyways i have tried so many configurations and am
stumped i shouldn't need any drivers according to the website. i am sorry for
making this so long and dont flame me for not being able to get on the internet
with linux it is (sadly) one of the things i dont know but i know a lot of other
stuff on linux. mainly dont flame me because i dont know one thing. (that
message goes out to all the people who would flame me.)</FONT></DIV>

advance)</FONT></DIV>
