Frederico,

It's near midnight here so I'm not in the mood to look it up but...

you need to look at masquerading (also sometimes called IP_FORWARDING).  In 
short this can be setup in YAST2 in the sysconfig editor, or as part of the 
firewall.

There may be some other issues as well so you should look up masquerading in 
the manual / how-to's as well.

The ex-suse linux knowledge portal has several articles on setting up a 
network which should also cover some of this. See:

Good luck.

Jethro
