Implying, that firewalling and gateway support is compiled into the
kernel (which is not in most distributions).
Older SuSE distributions require to set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to "1",
newer ones have an entry in /etc/rc.config which automatically sets
the ip_forward value at network startup.
The Hongkong Newton Users Group (HKNUG) once had an
installation guide how to accomplish the same thing with Windows
NT RAS, which is the way I am doing this at the office.
