Fair enough. > I know that to do this I have to recompile my kernel to enable IP > forwarding, but beyond that I have no idea how to make this work.

You also need to turn on IP masquerading, and possibly others if you're using a 2.0 kernel. > How do I configure the dual-boot box to enable it to recognize this > route, but still be able to work through dialup? Just configure the Linux system normally; you don't need to change anything outside of IP masquerading. The Windows only machine needs to be set so that the default route is the Linux box. > And what do I need to ask the networking guy at my ISP to configure, > routewise?
