Here on my network my wife's WinXP box shares its internet connection to the rest of the network. I've had machines ranging from an old 6100 to my current Beige G3 using the internet connection.

All I set up was to use DHCP over the network. Now I'm not sure about serving the connection to AppleTalk machines. I think I did it a long time ago with IPNetRouter with a Duo 280c and an older PowerMac. It was dog slow, both because of the connection speed (26.4kbps), and going through the Localtalk network.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello.
I have a large collection of Macs and would like to serve an Internet
connection to them. Normally, I would just use the Quadra as an
ethernet-appletalk bridge, but here's the kicker: the network will not
allow any machines except Windows 98se or above access.

So here's the question: does anybody know of a program that will run on a
PC and translate standard ethernet calls to whatever M$'s <I>special</I>
ethernet calls are, thus allowing me to use the PC as a bridge from M$
ethernet to standard and allowing all my machines access. Sorry if I sound
a little naive, but this isn't my area.
