I have some freinds who want to be able to connect their several Win95 machines together for gaming purposes, without going through the internet. There are 8 machines at one location and 2 at another. I opened my big mouth and suggested setting up some "outdated" hardware they have (P-166 setups -- old news for hardcore game fans) as linux routers (one at each location) to create a mini intranet. They already have the machines at each location set up in a win95 peer-to-peer network, but only two machines can game against each other at a time. I believe this is because the poor Win networking is not routing all of the protocols.
My questions since I'll have to hel. Will I need a router at BOTH ends of the link? Can I set up the linux boxes to route for the whole network (at each location) to the internet if desired? And last, what, other than the NAG, should I get my hands on as far as documentation is concerned to set up a linux box to be nothing other than a network gateway/router for a bunch of WinDoze boxes. I've never done it so I need as much of a "step-by-step as is available. Please reply to me and CC: the list as I am roughly 3000 messages behind in reading the list due to a new job with rather odd hours. Gerald V.
