Actually, Frank's suggestion solved the problem.  I do have an issue
with two boxes though.  My Ubuntu box and my Knoppix LivePC box don't
has the default route set.  In SUSE's Yast, this was easy - just open
the Routing module and type in the address for the internal NIC on the
primary SUSE box.  I'm not sure how to add the default route under
Ubuntu or Knoppix.

I tried 'route add', but haven't been able to make that work properly.
 I'm sure I am using it incorrectly on the Knoppix box, but the Ubuntu
box won't even allow me to use the command.  I have to go now, but I
appreciate any pointers on making the other boxes viable.  I
appreciate everyone's input so far.  I will gladly accept
documentation pointers - other than man route - I'll look it up later
as well.
