Actually, he would use IP Masquerading / IP Chains to have the Linux box be
his gateway to the internet. SAMBA is for file and printer sharing between
windows and Linux boxes. However, if he wanted to use the Windows 98SE ICS
as the gateway to the internet I think he would simply specify the windows
98SE box's IP address as the default gateway for the eth0 interface on the
Linux box (wouldn't have to use IP Masquerading / IP Chains for this setup).
