Connection TV through the PC to internet

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello,

I have bought a TV which has possibility to connect via LAN to Internet. At this moment I have no router but I suppose it should work also via PC where is 2nd net card. (of course PC must be ON)

So I connect TV to PC to one net card and from 2nd to internet (provider socket). But how should I set the PC to work it? Allow both cards, it is clear but is it enough? I dont suppose :slight_smile:

Thanks for hint :slight_smile:

Martin

PS: if important, KDE and oS 11.3

Yes, you can configure a Linux PC (or pretty much any PC regardless of
the OS) to act as a router.

http://linux-ip.net/html/routing-intro.html is a good starting point on
how to set this up (looks to be generic).

Thank you.

And is it possible to do the setting only via Yast?

Sure, the firewall module has options to configure masquerading (aka NAT)
for this purpose.

Hello,

so I am trying to set the network with Yast but it doesnt work.

Generally, I followed ICS - openSUSE (I have oS 11.3)

I have done:

eth0 - for internet
eth1 - internal network

In Firewall setting

Firewall is running
Interface → eth0 External zone, eth1 Internal zone
Checked Mascarade

In Network setting → cards:
Both cards for DHCP4
IP forwarding checked

eth1 set for DHCP4
name of module: forcedeth
set in Internal zone

In DHCP server setting:

subnet 10.152.187.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
subnet 10.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224
subnet 10.254.239.32 netmask 255.255.255.224
subnet 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.224
host passacaglia
host fantasia
shared netwokr
subnet 10.17.224.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
subnet 10.0.29.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
pool__0
pool__1
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0

on TV is set “get IP via DHCP”

But it doesnt work at all…

thanks for help,

Martin

ok, I have stepped forward…
I have cancelled DHCP setting for eth1 (internal net) and set static IP, Netmask, Gateway and DNS got from etc/resolve.conf

It is better, I can ping TV, TV can ping PC but from TV I cant access to internet and I dont why…

Thanks,

Martin

Is the firewall enabled? (and to the DHCP question, is the DHCP server
daemon running?)

Check both of those in the YaST Runlevel editor.
