We talked about this some last nite on #suse.
You don't need to mess with those advanced settings. Use yast to set up the
firewall under security - tell it what device is the internal network and
what device is external. Click the next boxes until you get to step 3 and
make sure you have forward traffic and do masquerading checked. This is all
done on the firewall box. On the other internal boxes make sure that their
gateway is set to the address of the firewall. This should get you going
until you can read some more and customize if you need to.
