I’m running 10.3, and am trying to use my main box to route for a new
box I’m setting up. My main box connects to the internet on wan0 and to
the new box on eth0. I can ping each host from the other. I’d like
myhost to route for newbox since it doesn’t have a wireless nic.

Just a quick followup - I figured it out. I needed to set a static
route on the WAP so it knew how to get back to the 192.168.100.x subnet.
(I’d already set the forwarding flag in YaST, Networking)
Doh. Working like a charm now.
