I have ADSL from my phone company (US-West in Salem, OR). I get 640k
down/272k up. I also have a 4 hour lease on my IP address, which is nice.
It's a little extra for a purely static IP. I pay $50.00 per month, $30 for
the line and $20 for the ISP (With US West). Oh and it was a $110 install
fee.

Do a search on "Tactical Software"
Amercian mob who have quite a bit of software along the lines of what you
are looking for.
I was using the trial version of one of their products to allow a Windows9x
box to use a Com Port shared by a Linux Box (Yes I realise that this is the
reverse of what you are watning to do, but I think that they had software to
do it that way as well).
Be warned, whilst nearly all of Tactical Software's products have free trial
periods I was put off using them in the long term due to very very high
purchase prices.

If you want to use your linux box as masquerading gateway you also have to
add a masquerading entry :
ipchains -A forward -i <IP-external interface> -s <Network-IP-local-net>
-j MASQ
Good Luck,

Do your PPP 'interfaces' have static or DHCP asssigned addresses, and do
they use hosts files, or DNS for name to address resolution? Also, since
you say you're using telephone (dial-up?) networking, make sure you
increase the timeouts in the fstab entries, the defaults may not be long
enough.

I don't think Win98 lets you pick a username when connecting (unlike NT).
It uses the username you logged in as. If that's the "problem", then
that's just normal Win98 behavior, I believe...

NOW I remember. I put this off and then forgot about it. All sorts of
compile-time warnings and errors trying 1.48 and 1.51. Ah well, time to
roll up the sleeves and dive into the code.

Hi
You have to add users to samba too
smbpasswd -a bretts
And I think you need to use encrypted passwords in order to get access from
windows98
[Global]
encrypt passwords = yes
If that does not do it, you can have a copy of my smb.conf

I have the exact same problem.
When this happens and I do a netstat -r, I get the first 2 entries
quickly, but it hangs for a minute before listing the 3rd (default
gateway) entry.
I'm also looking for help on this problem. If I find an anwser, I'll
