I believe this is my problem! Everything I have read states that 2 NIC's
are required in the Masq server . One for the internal network  (eth1) and the 
other (eth0) I have no idea what it's purpose is for. I have read alot trying 
to understand how to configure a system like this but a couple of howto's 
indicates 2 NIC's are required but with no explaination no how to accomplish
this. The firewall with IP Masquerade - HOWTO states to use ppp0 instead
of eth0 for the external interface and so that is what I did.

To get on the internet I have to use YaST to change from "Static address 
setup" to "Automatic address setup (via DHCP)".
