Thanks for your help. Finally have two boxes at least pinging each
other. I don't know how to use the connection yet but it seems its
there.
Really I'm playing. I'm trying to set up a 3 or 4 box lan in both
win98 and rhlinux. Eventually I have an old 486 boosted to 75 with 24
Megs mem and a 15 gig harddrive that I want to set up as a firewall
just to see if I can do it. Also I want to set up samba so I can
utilize the win98 setups too. That box is an old aptiva 510 that got
hit by lightning so it has a few quirks but seems to work fairly well.
I do have a question. What do I need to do to get netscape to find my
internet connection?
I t used to work but now it cant find the connection. Too longwinded
tonight,
Thanks,
Bill
