Maybe that can be version 2. If DSL is working from W2K, all you need to do is switch on internet connection sharing there and then set the address of that machine as the gateway for your linux box. You can set the gateway address using the control center, using the internet connection wizard. You will also need the address(es) of the DNS inserted into a file called: /etc/resolv.conf It should look like: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The first address is that of the primary DNS, then the secondary. You can have as many of these as your ISP provides. That's all that's required, but as said above, it would make a lot more sense to front-end with linux. Is your DSL modem ethernet connected or USB? If it's ethernet, then getting the linux gateway config going is really easy. If USB, then the answer is always "it depends". Anyway, make a start and post more questions. You'll find plenty of people here who can help you make this work. HTH Brian
