Hi Gary, This is really relatively easy. First make sure you do have network continuity between your machines. Second configure each win98 machine to have a gateway address of the Linux box. Third turn on Ip Forwarding in the Network Config. Forth configure the IP Fordwarding/Masq. I have pasted a copy of the ipfwadm that I use on boot up. Maybe it will give you some idea. -- robert Gary Neff wrote: > I have two computers setup on win98 (I know but thats what beta testing gets > you) I have just built a p60 (all left over parts) to run linux as an > internet server.
