I have been tooling around with this for | weeks and I just want it to work. Thank you for any help. I have here a network with 2 Potato boxen, 1 Win98 and 1 Win95 working. I setup one Debian box with ipmasq. All NICs are statically configured (no DHCP). On the 'doze box I set one of the Debian boxes as the default gateway. I set a static IP and no WINS. I have a D-Link switch physically connecting the boxes. Can the 'doze box ping itself? By localhost or 127.0.0.1? By it's external IP address? The biggest issue I had, once I had ipmasq installed, was the 'doze boxes not cooperating with Samba. If you want more specifics on how I configured the doze systems I can turn one on tomorrow and see what it says. On the Debian systems I use /etc/hosts to set names for the machines. -D
