internet connection sharing - Shibathedog - 2006-03-15
Well, attempt number 2 to switch to Linux, Mandrake didnt work out too well but SuSe 10 seems to be working great so far!!
Anyway my question is, I have two NICs, One is wireless which goes to my router and gets me online, which obviously is working fine :) second one is wired and i want to be able to connect a PC/Another Router/My Xbox(eww microsoft) to it with a crossover so i can get online with that PC/Play Xbox Live/whatever.
and a secondary question i have is i have a Windows XP Computer sharing a Printer, how do i install that?
Thanks for your help :)

So correct me incase i understand wrong: right now, you're network looks something like this....

Is there something i have to download to do this?
i have a few other questions
1. I wanted to update firefox, but i have no idea where its installed or what files to overright (i dont have an RPM...boo)
2. To install flash i just open a terminal window thing and type in Instal-Flash-Script.sh after going to the folder right?
3. and to install realplayer10 (everyone elses seems to have come with this....mine didnt, maybe because i have the OSS release) its a .bin file, what do i do with that?

That's a binary, an executable, the Linux equivalent of a .exe.
Fire up your command line, drag that file into it, and hit enter. That should run the .bin, assuming your permissions allow execution.

Alright I dont know if you found a solution to your problem and if you did could you point me to the reference page cuz i'm interested too. So far the only thing I've found was that you have to download bridge-utils from the repos and that the cmd can only be excuted from root account (I dont know how to set up sudo yet and su doesn't work).
So I hope this helped
