Ok, here is the scenario: I have a thinnet ethernet connection running from the wall to my Windows95 box. In that win95 box is a combo card. On the coaxial part of the card, I am running a coaxial cable from there to my linux box, and terminating the ends. Will this work? If so, what do I have to setup on both ends in order for the linux box to see the internet? Would I have to run the ethernet into the linux box first? I only have one static ip address assigned to me. If this will not work, how should I set this up if I use two separate ethernet cards in one box instead of the combo card. (i.e. which box should have the two cards in it, and how should I setup the two system's network settings) INTERNET | | | Combo ethernet card thinnet wire | V COMPUTER A (Win95) | | | Coaxial connection of above ethernet card | V COMPUTER B (LINUX) OR INTERNET | | | Ethernet card 1 (in win95 box) | V COMPUTER A (Win95) | | | Ethernet card 2 (also in win95 box) | V COMPUTER B (LINUX with one ethernet card)
