2way routers [SOLVED]
I am just curious of what a 2-way router is.
Where can I buy it?
I am having problems connecting 4 computers in one router and it is only the pc where linux is installed can't go online.
When I connect my linux machine directly to the modem, i can go online.

How is your router set up? I can block mac addresses so boxes are denied access to the routher (thus preventing them from accessing the network & the internet). Have you implemented something like that by accident? You never know. Which type of router do you have?

compUSA Cable/DSL router 4-port Switch is my router and 4 computers are connected to it.
This router is connected to the my DSL modem.
So when I turn on all computers with XP and Windows 98SE at the same time they connect to the intenet.
But when I boot one computer with Linux and 3 computers with windows, only the 3 Windows computers can go online. My linux can't.
One of the 4 computers have an XP/Linux dual boot.

Have you made any changes to the firewall? You may want to check the settings in YaST, Security and Users, Firewall.

It sounds like you could have a default route problem. Have you set your default gateway to the router when it's plugged into there? I know the router should be configured to pick all that stuff up, but there could problems with the routing tables it uses.
