Routing Problem

[DC Parris]

Greetings,

My primary box, running SUSE Linux 10.0 is doubling as my router.  I can get 
my laptop running SUSE 10.0 to connect to the Internet through this primary 
box.  However, I have not been able to successfully connect to the Internet 
from an Ubuntu 5.10 box on my LAN.  Running a single distro environment is 
not feasible for my situation, but at least there are no Windows boxes.  
Anyway, here's my basic info.

The primary box has two NICs, one connects to Roadrunner via DHCP, and the 
internal NIC provides DHCP service to the internal LAN.  The Ubuntu box is 
getting it's IP address from the SUSE box just fine.  It even lists the SUSE 
box as its name server.  Yet, it doesn't see the external NIC.

When I ping the external NIC, I get a "network unreachable" message.  When I 
first installed Ubuntu, I had no need to share the connection, and did not 
configure a default route.  I believe that is where the problem lies, but am 
not sure what to do about it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Don
