here are some suggestions:
1.make your lan ip addresses local.(192.168.x.x)your existing IP addresses
are not internet legal fotr local networks.
2.make your amiga the gateway ip address
3.enter your isp`s dns server addresses in the settings on the clients
4.pray
The way I usually set up dialup routers on small networks, if you search for
a domain name, it looks for the dns server.If that server address is outside
the lan subnet,the query goes to the gateway,and it automatically dails up
to query the dns server.
Is there an IP routing option in genesis?If so turn it on.If not,you can`t
do it.
If you have win98 on the PC,internet sharing can be made to work using the
pc as the gateway, but the amiga may not accept w98 dhcp addresses.
Alteratively,run Linux on the pc , and set up samba etc.There are other ways
to this,including spoofing, but all are rather arcane.
Your mileage may vary:)
