[never done this, not an expert] You will need to setup a proxy server on the win98 box. This one is free, but there are probably a lot of others: http://www.nycsoftware.com/easyproxy/ Then you just connect the gnu/linux box to the 98 box a crossover cable, unless you have a hub or router -- which would be worth buying if you need to give more computers access later. Once this is done, you setup the gnu/linux box to use the 98 box as its proxy server. This is _probably_ as simple as changing a few settings on your web browser. Since i am lazy, i would probably use a router with DHCP built into it. This way you don't have to deal with assigning IP addresses to both machines. However, if you are looking for the cheapest method (not that a routher isn't cheap), a crossover cable seems like the best way to go.
