Reply: (edit)Hello
You need a small proxy server running on your Win98 machine like AnalogX. Set your browser on the Linux machine(Netscape I guess) to connect to the internet via a proxy server and enter the IP address of the Win98 machine. I am writing this reply from my Linux machine using just such a setup.
I downloaded "AnalogX" from Tucows.com. If you can't get I'll send you a copy. Regards

Reply: (edit)Downloaded analogX and installed on Windows98 machine but I don't know how to setup netscape to use the proxy server in linux. How do you get linux to recognize the proxy server?
Thanks,
David

Reply: (edit)I'm not sure if w/98 has it or not but try using ICS internet connection sharing that comes on some versions of windows. to find out if it does , simply right click on the internet connection select properties and see if it has a tab labeled sharing. If so just put a check by the services you want to enable. mainly that you want to share this connection. your w/98 machine then becomes a dhcp server. then set you linux box to aquire it's ip using dhcp. works like a charm

Reply: (edit)I, too, am having an Internet Connection sharing Problem. I have RH 7.2 running and I have a Linksys Router w/ 4 port switch. I can ping any device on my network. I can even connect to a Web page, but only if I type the IP address of the Web page. I would guess it's a browser setup problem, but i can't figure out where or how to do this. Please help

Reply: (edit)Sounds like dns server problem.
The dns server converts the domain names (dn) to ip addresses.
try setting the dns server on the client to the same as the default gateway.
i hope that works.
email me otherwise.
