Bare with me... Go into your win box network settings and add another TCP/IP adapter pointing to the Linux box as the Gateway out to the Internet. If you have DNS setup on the Linux box...which you do need to have...point the DNS settings to the Linux box. I think you also need to have DHCPd running on the Linux box so that the win client will get its IP from the Linux box. However, I think you can just add a static IP on this additional TCP/IP adapter and you will be ok. YOu should check me on this point. The difference lies in the fact that you are pointing your Laptop to the Linux box in the Gateway and DNS settings of TCP/IP. Ok? Let me know how you make out. I read a NHF on Internet Sharing but that was when IPCHAINS was king but now IPTABLES has taken its place.

My problem lies in that the Win2000 "box" is already configured for a network. I need to somehow allow the laptop to run on two seperate networks.. perhaps there is some way to allow different network options if I have a different login name? That's basically the problem I am having... the already setup network.
