I have been using linux rh5.2 for some time now and have got a simple
network up and running with one win98 machine and a linux server running
SAMBA with no problems. I have had a request from a new customer that has
the following setup in his office.
One server running win98 and 5 clients also with win98, he wants all his
pc's to connect to the internet by sharing a single modem on the server. I
suggested linux for the new server using ip forwarding etc and samba, he has
no knowledge of linux but was happy with something that will help to
overthrow the 'evel empire'.
My question are, does anyone know of some good infomation on how to do this.
If anyone has had some experience with this type of setup, etc etc.
Something that will cut down on the head scratching a bit would be great.

Thanks, Rick.   Please email me, replace aaaa with acay
rashton@aaaa.com.au
