Unfortunately, I ran across the same problem (SuSE 5.3).
I found SuSE works great as a workstation, but not
too well as a DHCP-based router/gateway.

In my case, everything worked fine until the DHCP
client went to renew the lease (3600 seconds or 10 hours
later), then everything went to pot.

Sorry I can't help out on this one.
