So I bought a cheap router box (Netgear) on sale at BestBuy. The router box talks to my cable modem, and the Windoze and Linux box use DHCP to talk to the router. This way you only need one NIC card in each box. With ICS (you have two NICs in the Windoze box, right?) it's as stated above. Make the Windoze IP address the gateway for your Linux box, and all will be cool. -- Collins Richey Denver Area gentoo_rc6 xfce+sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
