Hi.  This may be more of a win95 question than
an ipmasqing one, but since many of us use 
Linux/ipmasqing to overcome the shortcomings of 
the other OS's, I'll ask here. 

My small network consists of a Linux machine,
one winnt4 and 4 win95.  Two days ago, all 4
win95 machines refused to find the linux box 
as the gateway.  I could ping all the internal
machines, the linux and nt boxes could get to 
the outside world (nt via ipmasq) but the win95's
couldn't get past the masqing linux machine.
All the win95 boxes could successfully ping any
other computer on the LAN.  Using tcpdump (and I'm
no expert at reading the output) it appeared that
although the win95 boxes had the correct gateway
in the configuration and routing tables, they were
looking for the nt computer for the gateway.  What
appeared to fix the problem was deleting and then
re-entering the gateway on the win95 boxes and 
rebooting.  Rebooting alone did nothing to fix the
problem nor did having the nt4 machine on or off line
make any difference.  The windows machines have not
undergone any changes, updates or service packs since
they last worked properly (I'm not defining 'properly').

My question is "what happened here' and has anyone
else experienced this phenomenon?  Why all 4 win95 
boxes at the same time?

thanks,
