Thank you all - I'm now successfully sharing my connection.
Pretty straight forward - only 2 things to report:
[1] I did decide to use SuSE's firewall in the end, and found it nice
and easy - I would recommend this for newbies like myself, although I've
not seen the Shorewall product which I'm sure is excellent too.
[2] It only started working when I added DNS server entries on the Win
machine's ethernet card TCP/IP settings - I used identical entries to
the ones I found automatically set up on my Linux machine (the one with
the internet connection on it) under domain servers in YAST2. Why is
this? And have I done something lame that just happens to work by
accident?
Again, thanks all
Andy
