Hi crash testers
this is I hope a simple problem but one that has eluded me for days 
I have 3 machines on my network 
1: mandrake 8.0 that i have been using as a router and workstation 
2: win98 (1st addition) machine
3: compaq laptop mdk8.0

recently i have done a clean install on the No1 machine and now the win 98 
machine refuses to share the internet connection  ,it seems as though it 
doesn't want to talk to the MDK. I have gone through the internet connection 
sharing wizard in mdk ,(this has worked flawlessly on other occasions)
using etherape i can see some stuff going on between win98 & workgroup
so I can rule out a hardware problem.
IE gets as far as "detecting proxy settings" and then gives me the old cannot 
find server page .
the laptop is surfing fine ,picking up an ip address but this winblows 
machine jst doesn't want to play .
this has me stumped i have done every thing the same as I did last install 
the only new thing is the lappy but surely this couldn't be stuffing things 
up .
any suggestions would be much appreciated .
