It seems that the DNS works, but still could not get through the
Internet via my laptop. The laptop does not formward packges to ppp0,
something seems still missing in my loptop?
NAT on eth1. I though that was already understood.
You need iptables package to be installed (chances are its already installed).
Several ways to enable it but easiest would be to add a line to
the /etc/network/interfaces

find the lines that configures eth1 and add this line at the bottom :
up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

then restart networking :
# /etc/init.d/networking restart
