I use Win98 behind a hardwared router; should be the same for using a
gentoo router.
You have the correct choices. All you need to do is right click on
Network Neighborhood, select properties, scroll down until you select
the TCP/IP -> your ethernet card and select properties:
IP address
check Obtain and IP address automatically
Gateway,
nothing
Wins
check use DHCP
DNS
check disable
This works for me.
Good luck.
