I want to thank all of you for your assistance with my 
Novell-Linux-Internet problem.  I solved the problem over the weekend and 
was embarrassed to find it was a minor oversight on my part that was 
causing all of my problems.

Since someone else may run into this problem I'll breifly explain what 
happened.

I had recompiled my 1.1.59 kernel a number of times making sure that I 
selected Y for IP Forwading.  I also checked the numerous other 
settings.  I did everything my book told me to do:

make config (choose options)
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make zlilo (optional)
run lilo and check the lilo.conf file
reboot

I'm sure some of you caught the small error but because it's something so 
simple that it's taken for granted, many will miss it.

I neglected to cp the zImage file to /vmlinuz!

It's taken for granted in most books that you would know to do this and I 
did read it in one of the earliest how-to's I read.  I simply forgot it 
and the more times I was unsuccesful, the more frustrated I got and the 
more I didn't even think about something that simple.

Everything is working like a champ now.

Anyway, thank all of you for your suggestions.  They did help as they 
kept pointing me towards the problem even if I didn't know it at the time.

I'm thinking of writing a HOW-TO on setting up a system like this.  
Anyone interested in collaberation(sp)??

Just as an aside, even though I worked all weekend and late into the 
nights, I had a blast!  This takes me back to the early days of DOS when 
figuring out how to do something was challenging and rewarding.  I think 
I'm going to really enjoy working with Linux, not only at home but at 
work now.

Thanks again,

Eric
