ICS + Linux

I've probably asked this before, but what I remember is not working.
I have an internet connection on a windows ME box that is running ICS to
an adapter which has a crossover cable directly to my linux box. The
mini-network is set up properly (I can ping 192.168.0.1(my ME box) and
it can ping 192.168.0.2(my linux box)). How do I set up my linux box
(running openSuSE 10.1 in NetworkManager mode) for the ICS (set up
correctly).

Desperate and close to succeeding,

Just like with any other router. Your ICS box is just acting as a NAT
router. Setup:

Address 192.168.0.2
Mask 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.0.1
DNS Your ISP's DNS Server(s)

After looking through countless articles onn the web, I discovered that
you are supposed to use DHCP on your client computer. I did so, and I
got an IP (after a while). 169.254.107.134. WTF!?!?!? Anyway, I tried
pinging google.com's ip ( DNS is FAR from working!), and even though it
appeared nothing was happening on the linux side, I saw activity on the
internet connection on the gateway. I even tried disabling every
firewall, but still nothing.

Can you help me*?

Follow these steps _exactly_ for success:

1) MS LAN interface is 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
NO Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Components used:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Client for Microsoft networks
Power Management disabled (if applicable).

2) MS Internet interface
Enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
Enable On Demand Dialing if a modem (if desired; this will allow the
Linux traffic to cause the w2k to initiate dialing if needed)
Components used:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Client for Microsoft networks
Power Management disabled (if applicable).

3) Linux eth0 is|are 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0
Use your ISP's DNS nameservers
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1

When ICS is set up properly it will function as a DHCP server as long as
you leave the default LAN network of 192.168.0.0/24. The box itself will
be assigned 192.168.0.1. Note that once it's set up, you can change it
to anything you want at the expense of DHCP. ICS works just fine, I used
it myself for a couple of years when I had an internal DSL modem (with
Linux clients behind it). The 169.254.0.0/16 network is Microsoft APIPA,
so if yo got that on your Linux box I don't know where it came from. You
can have your Public Interface as DHCP on the MS box, but the private
Interface needs a fixed, private IP address (like the default
192.168.0.1). Try setting up your client as static and make sure you can
ping the ICS box.

I've changed a few things, but still nothing. Here's exactly how I'm set
up right now:

WME has three network "cards"- the pppoe (acts like a dial-up), the
wireless (used to get at the pppoe) and the ethernet (x-over to Linux).
The e-net is set to 192.168.3.1/255.255.255.0, the pppoe is working
fine. ICS is set up between the "dial-up" thingamajig and the ethernet.
It has a firewall which allows all ICS traffic.

Lin has one network card, set to static (192.168.3.2/255.255.255.0),
with 192.168.3.1 as the default gateway. It has DNS set up exactly as
ynotssor said (boy, you know more about my connection than I did ).
It has no firewall (yet).

Let's say I ping google.com (or it's IP). I see on WME that the pppoe
connection gets data passed through it. I get no reply on my linux box,
though. The same thing happens when I disable the firewall.

Please, help!!!

The reason I'm using 192.168.3.x is to avoid conflicts with my other
routers.

Oh, and one more thing: My Linux Box can ping the nameservers.

Sorry it's in pieces like this, but I have great news:
