Description Richard Foley 2005-12-13 15:04:41 UTC 
I upgraded a working SuSe 9.0 installation to SuSe 10.  The machines on the internal network (192.168.0.0) could no longer get past the router (192.168.0.1) machine to the internet.  The router can ping all internal hosts, and the internal hosts can all ping the router.  The router can ping all external hosts and access external sites with no problems.  The internal hosts are unable to ping PAST the router.  Reported to installation support with varied response - helpful suggestions welcome.

This is not a support channel and there this no major bug.
And please note that I'm able to ping to the outer world here.
You've to make sure that the local network and also the router
of this network are added both to the routing table. For more
information see the manual page of routes(5).
