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)
