Hi, I'm setting up my 1st linux router/firewall for my office. I'm connecting to the net via ATT DSL using PPPoE. It's connected, but something's wrong with my config (routing?) as I can't seem to ping past my gateway. I'm running a headless Opensuse 11.0 box, uname -a Linux router 2.6.25.18-0.2-default #1 SMP 2008-10-21 16:30:26 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux pppd --version pppd version 2.4.4 ATT have allocated a Static block x.x.x.144/29 to me.

From the info I've been able to find online, I've set up kernel-pppoe config as follows,
