I also am setting up a similar network.
Using IPmasqurating (or however you spell it) I was wondering if you can
watch (not spy hold on) what the other computers are doing on the inet. I
currently have an um, cough other OS network setup, and at certain times our
total bandwith (56k wow! heh) is totally used up when neither computer is
downloading.. I would like to diagnose what is hogging the bandwith and try
to get it to shut down. Let me know if any of you know how or what to do.
