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

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.
