[newbie] LAN connectivity

[Joe Lore]

HI,

I am using Mandrake 7.1 and I am having trouble getting connectivity to the
net through my LAN.

I currently use a Win 98 SE box with internet sharing to provide net to the
entire LAN, however, when I provide the IP for that box as the default
gateway it just simply does not work.

Has anyone successfully done this, if so what should I be using where for
settings, if not can anyone give me some tips on where to begin.


Thanks

Joe
