You will need to configure IP Masquerading and recompile your kernel. Read the IP-Masquerade mini-HOWTO for details. You should configure your Win 95 machine to use the Linux machine as its gateway. It works great once you have it set up. No proxy is necessary, but you will need to install some modules for ftp, real audio, irc, quake, etc. Bob ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
