It depends on whether or not the box is broadcasting via DHCP. If the box is broadcasting, no extra configuration is needed. If the box is not broadcasting, you need to give the win98 box a static IP (just pick one that's not in use) and make the gateway the Gentoo box's IP. For the DNS settings, that depends on whether or not the Gentoo box is running a daemon like bind. -- Zack Gilburd http://tehunlose.com GnuPG Key ID: A79A45668240AB6C
