Don't know a thing about gaming and never wanted to--wrong generation, I guess. In Linux terminology, it's a "bridge connection". Very simple to set up: https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections You could probably do the same thing with dnsmasq and iptables. More than one way to skin a cat. I think there's also a port of ddwrt for the OPZ, so you could also use that. A lot more horsepower in any case than the Win98 box (quad-core 1.4GHz ARM, IIRC) --Chuck
