i am having trouble accessing the internet through my gateway via my laptop (both SUSE).
after hours of scoring google i cannot see whats wrong.

both machines have firewalls turned off.
gateway machine has ip-forwarding turned on and no gateway ip adress.
it can ping google(using the hostname and an ip adress), and the laptop.

linux:/home/us # route

laptop has no ip-forwarding and gateway machines ip adress as its gateway ip adress (:S), it cannot ping google(neither hostname or ip adress), but can ping the gateway machine.

btw to get kppp to work i cp'ed
/etc/ppp/peers/ppp -> /etc/ppp/peers/kppp

have you turned on NAT?

thanks after that it i was able to ping 64.179.4.149 from the laptop, so I turned on DNS client on the laptop and DNS server on the pc, and was able to browse google from konqueror.
