ear All Thank you, Clifford, Paul, Jonj, Karthik and all my friends. I have resolved that problem by IP Masquedare. I set up my Win95 as 192.168.1.10 and then enable the IP Masquedare by execute " ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ" on my Linux box. Now I can do ftp, telnet, and http. But I can not do xhost. Today, I try 2 public IP addresses on eth0 of my Linux box. All of them can work. So, I still want to use one of them as my win95 IP. How could I do that.
