Here is my two cents worth. 1. locate your 'hosts' file, usually in /etc/hosts. Use vi or some other good editor to add ips for the rest of your boxes. should look something like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.10.1main.mylinuxbox.org linux 192.168.10.20 1stwinbox.win.org w

Fairly simple: Make sure your "internal network" interface is on one of the private networks. I usually use 192.168.1.1 for the interface (192.168.1/24 is the network) Make your kernel with the ipmasq options, install "ipmasq" package, and restart with the new kernel. I'm assuming you're going t
