Also, for your client boxes, give them each the gateway of your server (the internal 192 address) and each at least 2 DNS entries, always give them the first one of your server.
not sure what you mean here are you refering the the DNS enteries given to me by my ISP?
Yep, normally two should have been given out. Without DNS you would have to know the IP's of the web pages.
How are you testing this?
Of course, you can have your own server run DNS if you want. Not necessary of course.
I'm testing this by trying to use me email and Konqueror. I don't seem able to resolve DNS even though I've set me DNS IP's using yast2.
I seem to realize something here I'm assuming that much of what you are tell me to do is to be don't to files on my firewall/gateway/router box. I hope this is right.
If there are changes to my computer inorder for is to communicate with the F/G/R box and there by to the outside world please let me know. Thanks.
Shoot, my bad. I was talking about your sever (the /f/g/r) box.
Clients only need DNS and have their gateways set to your f/g/r box, that is all. I take the clients have address like this:
192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 subnet masks of 255.255.255.0
On your f/g/r box one card points to the outside internet world and one poiunts to your internal clients. I think you had that right. Make sure the internal, lets say 192.168.0.1 has the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
Here is my ifconfig on the /f/g/r box (server).

Hope that is clearer.
This looks my set up as well.
