What does your /etc/resolv.conf show?
What does route -n give?

I have 3 machines: firewall-1, linux-1, and win2k-1. linux-1 and win2k-1 can ping each other and can ping firewall eth1 (local IP 192.168.0.1) and firewall-1 eth0 (cable modem IP, DHCP). But, linux-1 and win2k-1 cannot ping the internet (i have tried www.google.com and 216.239.35.100, neither work) On firewall-1 I have tried it with the firewall off too, but the same thing happens. I have a default install of SuSE pro 7.0 on firewall-1 and i have made the following changes in /etc/rc.config:
ip_forward= yes->no permission_security= easy local -> secure local passwd_use_cracklib= no->yes start_pcmcia= yes->no (its a desktop) start_httpd= yes->no start_portmap= yes->no check_inittab= yes->no fqhostname= linux.local -> newname.local (and i tried just 'newname')
I tried the following both on and off, neither worked:
start_named= no->yes :when this was set to yes (i tried it both ways) i also had the following: nameserver= "" -> 1.2.3.4 2.3.4.5 5.6.7.8 (they were the 3 DNS server ip's from my cable provider) searchlist= local -> myisp.com
For firewall-1 /etc/rc.config.d/rc.firewall.config i set the following:
2(int) eth0 3(world) eth1 5(route) yes 6(masq) yes 12(dhclient) yes -the rest are the defaults
On Linux-1 i set the ip address for static local (192.168.0.2) and a default install with office. no changes to rc.config except what yast changed when i set up the NIC.
On win2k-1 i set the ip (192.168.0.3) mask (255.255.255.0) and gateway (192.168.0.1 -firewall-1 eth1)
i have the wiring as follows: cable modem -> firewall-1 eth0 | firewall-1 eth1 -> switch -> linux-1 eth0 ... switch -> win2k-1
I have tried with and without DNS set up on the firewall-1 box, but neither way made any changes. can someone pleas help? what do i need to do to get the internal to see the internet? I have done alot of searching on the internet, but most was how to do it without SuSEfirewal and without other SuSE config options.
thanks in advance.
