Re: [TCLUG:2368] Connecting Windows to Internet through Linux



Hmmm.. have you made _SURE_ that your gateway on all the 95/NT boxes is
set at the linux box's IP? And have you removed the proxy configuration
from the browsers on the Win95/NT boxes, or is it still pointing at the NT
box? (That'd be my bet.). If you are running a recent kernel that supports
icmp masquerading on the Linux box, I'd drop to a dos box on a 95/NT
machine and run 'ping ftp.cdrom.com'. If you get results, masquerading is
working just fine. Otherwise, triple-check all your settings.
