You just have to set the gateway on the win box to the linux box and enable masquerading. Make sure you use a firewall and shut down services not needed on the suse box to keep evil people out. A script like the one below will take care of masquerading etc if you are using iptables. http://www.boingworld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutoria l/iptables-tutorial.html#AEN1224 To get the basics going just go to www.google.com and search for something like linux home networking tutorial. This will find you a straight forward tutorial without the obscure technical info that you can learn later. If you have trouble I can send you some links or info when I get home to get you up and running.
