I have 11.4 running as router
eth1 → 192.168.2.2 -->connected to wireless router
eth2 → connected to dsl → broadband internet
Squid is running as proxy → all 80 port request is redirected and is running as transparent proxy
Wireless router acting as access point to 192.168.2.2
Following is the /etc/dhcpd.conf entry
My problem i can connect to the internet by giving static ip
In the above configuration everything is working perfect …im getting internet and all
But if im connecting as dhcp … then ip is alloting… i can ping to the 192.168.2.2 from clients and also im getting the apache server but NO INTERNET
babu@Node:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf
search Matrix
Node:/home/babu # route -n
Node:/home/babu # ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 4C:0F:6E:FF:EE:94
Clients are running suse 12.1 and 11.4
Where i am wrong … please help

External connections on both network adapters isn’t how you go about using your machine as a router mate, one should be configured as external, this being the card you use to get your internet connection
The other card is used for internal connections, i.e it provides the routing for other machines to use your 11.4 box as a router, presumably you would do something like run a cable from the internal card to a hub or switch using it’s uplink port if it has one (any if it doesn’t, I usually use 1 for convenience), your other machines then just need to a cable from it’s NIC into the hub or switch
Be aware that you also have to turn on ip forwarding and masquerading, these can be done respectively in Yast > Network Devices > Network Settings > Routing and Yast > Security & Users > Firewall > Masquerading
For clients to use dhcp you also have to det up DHCP Server in Yast > Network Services
Hope that helps

/etc/resolv.conf file autogenerated by netconfig!
Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
/etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=‘’
See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
file and in case of a “netconfig update -f” call.
Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!

The clients are connected to the 11.4 router using wireless trough the wireless router ?
Are You using ifup or NetworkManager on the clients ?
