Kewl, can't wait for ADSL in my area :) Where are you?

Sounds good...

Aha! there you go. either 1. win95 TCP/IP configuration is botched, or
2. I didn't hear you say you've aliased your NIC to 192.168.1.1. You
probably don't have IP aliasing enabled in your kernel and you haven't
aliased the linux box's NIC to 192.168.1.1, and besides that, you probably
haven't added the route into your routing table that tells where to send
packets to and from net 192.168.1
If you have IP_ALIASING Compiled, make an alias:
# /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Then add the route:
# /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0:0
After you do that, you should be able to ping the linux box from the win95
machine (given win95 is set up correctly) and vice versa. Put these in
your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

Good. :)
Now, don't forget to do the modules...if you want FTP, Quake, IRC, etc. to
work. From your linux source directory do:
# make modules
# make modules_install
# depmod -a
then add these (the modules you want) to your rc.local:
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_alias.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive.o
BTW, I got TWO QuakeII sessions to work across my 33.6 connection with
masquerade, with a ping of lower than 250 for both! Yeehaw! We also
kicked everyone's rumps! :)

Welcome to the Astonishingly Wonderful world of Linux. I'm addicted to
it. I LOVE it. Hope you will to. We welcome you with open arms...
