Do you have DHCP turned OFF on the D-Link router? You can't have two DHCP
servers on the same network segment. So, if you have the Mac and Linux box
both plugged into the router you must either use the router's DHCP server,
_OR_ the Linux DHCP server, but never both. Now, if you have two network
cards in the Linux box, one going to the router, one going to the Mac,
that's different.
Why are you going to the trouble of using a DNS server for just 2 computers?
It that's all there are, you could simply create a hosts file on each
machine, containing the hostname and IP address of the other, and either use
fixed IP addresses, or configure your router to assign a known IP address
based on the NIC hardware address.
I don't think I understand everything you're trying to do, so more
information will help.
Smarter more Linux-savvy guys will chip in soon.

Hello,
Things were progressing nicely, got the antenna up and signal strenght is up
on the wireless and that is all working well.
The problem I am having is getting SuSE 9.1 pro to act as a dhcp server. I
installed and initiated both dhcp and dns servers and they are up and
running according to yast. I connected a cable to the onboard nic ( which is
designated as eth0 by the bo and the other end to a D-Link router/firewall.
The D-Link shows a Wlan signal and when I connect a caple to it and to the
mac it also shows a connection. The mac shows an Ip and subnet but cant
connect to the net. i cannot ping the linux box from the mac. I can access
the D-Link from the mac and access all the settings(they all seem
right---dhcp).
I am assuming that the SuSE box is not sending a dhcp to the D-Link and I
dont know what to do next. Has anyone set a SuSe
9.1 pro box as a dhcp server and would it be possible to get a copy of the
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. I assume that is what needs modifying?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
A J
