KVP-PC Staff http://www.kvp-pc.com Let's ignore for the moment the fact that it would make more sense for you to connect the linux machine to the DSL and use it as a gateway and firewall for the windoze clients. 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.

KVP-PC Staff http://www.kvp-pc.com In my humble opinion, you are better off using the linux box as the gateway and enabling connection sharing in MCC. It is easier to set up as far as I am concerned. But you have the Modem in the windows box so you should be able to go to internet connection and inable sharing from there.
