[LUG] Network Redhat 9

[richard.fuller1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello all.

It may seem bizarre to some but this is the way I want to try to set
up my network.....

Win 98 SE has a wizard that sets up Internet Connection Sharing ( ICS)
it says that it is no problem to set up with Linux (?)

ICS requires the Host to be the computer connected to
internet.....fine

Host is the Gateway on 198.162.0.1..Clients are 198.162.0.2 etc.
Windows uses a computer "name" to identify it on the Network with a
workgroup..

Now what do I call my Linux computer that wishes to share the internet
connection ??.......Do I change the localhost.localdomain ?......Do I
give it a static address of 198.162.0.2............as a client of the
Windows computer

Even the slightest comment might help

Thanks

Richard
