[CS-FSLUG] Setting Up Connection Sharing - SUSE 10.0

[Don Parris]

I have never setup Internet connection sharing before.  RoadRunner
allows me to share a connection between 4 boxes.  My SUSE 10.0 box is
the one attached to the 'Net via cable modem.  eth0 obtains its IP
address via DHCP from the cable modem.  eth1 has a static IP and
provides DHCP service for the internal LAN.

eth0 = 71.68.104.83
eth1 = 192.168.2.3

In Yast, I setup both NICs to allow IP forwarding.  I have not set the
default route, although I have the default gateway as 255.255.255.0. 
The destination is showing as 255.255.240.0, although I do not know
why.  The internal hosts definitely connect to the SUSE box and obtain
their IP addresses via DHCP.  However, they don't have a way to get
beyond the SUSE box.  Can someone help me understand what I am
missing?

Do I need to create a 2nd IP address on the internal (or the external)
NIC?  IOW, how do I set the default route so that my connection can
actually be shared?  Thanks in advance.

Don
