Good - glad it's working! Nameserver: see if your ISP has an FAQ page or
something that lists the ip addresses of their nameservers - many do (and you
will obviously have to use ip addresses). Otherwise, you can track down your
ISP's nameservers by going to www.networksolutions.com , click on WHOIS at the
top, enter your isp's domain, and get their addresses.
Also, if Microsoft were the company it ought to be, they'd have internet
connection sharing as a download or patch - but then, if they were the company
they ought to be, we all might not be using Linux?? So... Maybe winproxy
www.winproxy.com or something?
