I have a small home network, with my cable modem connected to a Linksys router. This allows me to share my interent connection with both my wife's computer and mine. My computer is a P3-1GHz, setup as a dual-boot system using Win98 and SuSE 7.3. When I was running SuSE 7.2, I had no network problems. Over the weekend, I installed a larger hard drive for Linux and since I had to reinstall Linux anyway, I upgraded to SuSE 7.3 - only now the internet connection under Linux doesn't work. Under 7.2, all I had to do was setup my network card and I had instant internet access. With 7.3, I setup my network card but I have no access to the internet. It clearly setup the card correctly and the router is obviously talking to it, because I can see through YaST2 that it was assigned an IP by the router. But no internet. I've been doing a little reading online, and it looks like the newest kernel has some new network stuff in it. Refer to http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/NAT-HOWTO/index.html for more information. I'm still new to Linux and I'm trying to decipher everything I'm reading. If anyone has some insights for me, it would be appreciated.

Have you set up the default gateway under the browser of your choice? This may help. Greg

No, but I came home and turned on my computer to check that, and now it is working. I guess all I needed to do was reboot the machine. Duhhh. Thanks for your help, anyway.
