The Linux IP Masq. mini-howto has detailed info on setting up ipmasq
as well as setting up various other OS's that are attached to the
private net.

You didn't mention setting the Win95 machine's gateway IP to that of
your Linux box.  Try that...

I had a number of probs wiv 95 at firstone was reasonably simple like the
previous post suggested.
check that ur gateway is set to the other linux box.
I found i had to set this to the 192.168 address of my linux box or 95 would
spew, especially when disconnected from net.
some other probs i encountered were the dns
u can ither add ur isp dns's in here or if ur running a dns on ur linux
gatewey that one or you can add them all :)
of course if one dont work, it will try the next one.
thats what, I did and it werx great :)
but the biggest prob was having the gateway set right.if its set to the 192
address for ur server the default route should take care of packet transfers,
etc.  If not ur asking for trouble.
in Linux mode, the machines are more tolerant i found, probably cause tcp/ip
is native to Linux and microsofts stack is screwed.
Anyway hope this helps
Tony

Hi,

Is your linuxbox connected to the Internet?
If so, has Win95 as gateway the linuxbox?
