yes, I think in my original email I sugegsted that. Just be be clear
though, on each machine (windows and linux) he should
1. put the name/ip pairs of all machines on his LAN in the
"hosts" file. This is /etc/hosts for linux, and somewhere under the
windows dir for windows (use the find feature and make sure you don't edit
the hosts.sam file, but just "hosts")
2. put his ISP's DNS servers in the appropriate places - /etc/resolve.conf
for linux and in the DNS entries under networking/tcp/ip settings for your
ethernet adapter under windows.
And yes, the PCs use the linux box's IP as their gateway.
