Its .net not .org.

I agree, Shorewall is vastly easier to setup 
and configure, and has the best documentation
i've seen.  The Quick start guide on that site is
a step by step approach and it covers one, two and
three nic setups as well as proxy arp etc.

Shorewall is just a means of setting up iptables, but
it is a very understandable and easy to comprehend means.

I'd encourage suse to considder making it part of their
distro, like a couple others have done.

Susy Fw works, but Shorewall is way easier to understand
and setup.
