Hi, Yes that is the exact setup. I already have the dial-in server setup on the Linux box of which I can already dial in too.
So the problem is how requests for web-pages are handled from the Windows box via the Linux box. I do not have a firewall setup on the actual Linux box but I know the ISP I am using does have a firewall. So would I have to set up the IP masquerading to make it look like requests coming from the Windows box are actually coming from the Linux box? If this is correct then I am still unsure where this is going wrong - could it be that I have not set the options in the /ppp/options.ttys0 file?
