Hi,

Could anyone please give me a hint how to configure a win98 box behind
a gentoo router? Just replaced Dad's broken WinXP box with a brandnew computer where I installed win98 for him. Using my Gentoo box as
router it worked perfectly with Dad's old computer. Now I can ping
between gentoo and win98, I can manage Dad's files from my Gentoo box
(samba) can print from Gentoo to his printer, but his win98 can't get
an internet connection. What did I miss? Must be something on the
win98 side, since I did not change anything on my Gentoo box. TIA!

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.
