I have a similar setup without sygate. My primary PC ins WinME with
att@home (I don't believe it would make any big difference for a modem
connection). I have two NIC's in the WinME box, but you only need one
if you're using a modem connection) on a Netgear hub. My second PC is
dual boot Win98-SE and linux (MD7.2 at present) with a Netgear FA310TX
NIC connected to the other PC. If you use ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing - the M$ version not the Mandrake version), it works just fine.
I have a printer on each PC, and I can get to either one from either
system, windows or linux.
Do a search on WIN98 and home networks or lan or ICS to get HOWTOs for
setting up the windows PCs. There are good instructions on the M$
knowledge base and several other users.
If you don't find anything right away, mail me off list, and I'll see
if I can find the instructions I used.
