Yes, & I believe Mandrake 7.2 is the easiest one to do
it with. Once you have set up Mandrake to either use a
cable modem or dialup for internet connection, just
work through the internet connection sharing menu in
DrakeConf. Tell your Windows box to use DHCP to get
it's IP address & that's about it.
Id does all the ipchains config etc to manage the
routing, without your having to learn how do set
anything up manually. (Note, if you upgrade to kernel
2.4, this breaks coz it uses iptables, not ipchains,
otherwise, it works well, at least it did on this box)
