I presume you have IP masquerading set up in IP chains in the Linux box.
I have a very similar setup. The Win98 boxes are set up as:
WINS resolution off.
Gateway to LOCALNET address of Linux box. i.e. 192.168.xxx.xxx
DNS set to ISP's DNS address.
Domain name set to the ISP domain name. (don't know why you need this,
but you do)
and Bob's your uncle.
Good luck,
Nic Steussy.
