I'll assume that you have Debian on the machine that has the internet connection and that you have already done 'apt-get install ipmasq'. I'll also assume you've given the 'doze box an IP address (if you haven't, just say so). On the 'doze box right click on Network Neighborhood and click on Properties. Select the TCP/IP item that corresponds with the NIC in the machine and click on Properties. In the Gateway tab enter the IP address of your linux box with the internet connection and press Add. Press OK enough times to get rid of all the dialogs. Windoze will now tell you that unless you reboot you are screwed, so click "yes" to reboot. You also need to specify a DNS server or you will need to type IP addresses instead of names in, ex, a web browser. To do this find out the IP of your ISP's DNS server (you should have this in /etc/resolv.conf on the Debian box). Go back to the Properties dialog and select the DNS Configuration tab. Enter the address of the nameserver. You also need to specify a hostname and domain for the machine or windows will yell loudly at you. (BTW this can be done before rebooting above inorder to reduce the reboots to 1 instead of 2) HTH, -D
