I have a small home network for sharing files, and dial-up for internet. When I boot my DamnSmallLinux machine it finds a local ip address for working on the network. When I try to use dial-up, everything seems to work, but I cannot view any web pages, (browser just hangs). It seems to me that since the computer has already assigned a local address using dhcp, I cannot be assigned a dynamic ip to surf the internet. I have confirmed this by booting with the cheat 'nodhcp", dial-up works fine, but the network doesn't.

Just curious if anyone knows of a solution to this. (Yeah, I should get high speed and "use" the router the right way, but its not available.)

Set up a small DSL (or other) box with Internet sharing and put it on your network?

Or set up one of your existing machines for Internet Sharing?

That's what I would do if I was in the same position.

JB4x4,

you can't have teo ip addresses at the same time. If you are using the network you have a private adress, if you dialup you get a public adress.

But you can configure an external machine to be a dial up gateway.

SuSE 10 allows me to run this way - In fact it is dialed in right now (for this post) and connected to the network to share files. I suppose it is just a script or setting somewhere, just haven't found it yet.

Whereis your dsl in the network? Is it a gateway to other boxes in the network?

Post yout ifconfig results from both Suse and DSL, please.
