connection sharing issues

[umar]

seems like it was burried under "computers for sale"
extravaganza. But I need to find a solution to this
problem. Right now I am running the NAT server on
Win98 and I want to get back to linux ASAP (can't
stand the sight of windows I guess). So this is high
priority. Thanks again.
