I'm having trouble setting up a home network to share one internet
connection.  I have two laptops both with ethernet cards and both with
wireless cards.  One laptop is connected to a wireless access point
and I am trying to use that machine as a router to share the internet
connection with the second laptop (via wireless).  First, is this
possible?

I ask because I've had no success.  I have followed the basic
instructions on these two pages:

and

Machine 1 Running Suse 10.1 updated regularly.  Isp access via a
wireless network.  Machine 1 has access to the network via eth0 linked
via an ethernet cable to a wireless access point.  The isp assigns
fixed ip 192.168.xxx.202.  The access point is not hooked up to a
wireless router.  The isp gateway is 192.168.xxx.254.  eth1 is the
wireless card which I have given the fixed ip 192.168.2.1  I have
internet access without problems on this machine

Machine 2 - running suse 10.0 online update regularly.  I can ping
machine 1 but I get not ping the default gateway nor other sites.  The
result I get is that the network is unreachableI have enabled ip
forwarding and ip masquerading on machine 1.  I have tried turning off
the firewalls,
