I've set up a Linux box on my Novell network and have gotten sendmail 
working and processing internet mail from the work stations via Pegasus 
for Windows and Winsock.  Everything is working great as far as mail goes.

The question I have is this:  From my work station I can ping the Linux 
box with no problem and as long as Winsock is running on my work station 
I can ping my work station from the Linux box.

I can't ping anything past the Linux box though.  I've checked the route 
command and pm1.digex.net, which is our SLIP gateway machine at Digex is 
listed as the default gateway but I can't seem to get Linux to pass the 
ping through to the gateway.

I know I'm getting as far as the Linux box.  Why can't I get any further 
than that?  I'd really appreciate some help on this if anyone knows any 
tricks.  I'm assuming it's something to do with route and possibly 
ifconfig but I've run out of ideas.

Thanks for any help ahead of time.  If I have any hair left it will be a 
miracle!
