There are two firewalls that come with SuSE 8.0. One is called, if I
remember right "Personal Firewall", and is the one installed by default.
The second, again, if memory serves, is called "SuSE Firewall 2".
If you get the "SuSE Firewall 2" up and running, one if its settings is
to do forward and masquerade. Its just a matter of the clicking the
right checkbox in YaST. I believe that you get this firewall up and
running also via a setting in YaST.
I only had to do this myself once, and it was a while ago. Sorry about
having to be so vauge.
