Hi all!

Typical me, I am new to linux..After few installations I am sticking with RedHat 7.2 for now..TurboLinux: I liked the Graphics buut couldn't figure out the boot up sequence. Corel: sweet. Solaris didn't like my video card even thou it worked just fine...(Hard to get away from M$) To make my issue short.
What is the best app(Proxy) for win2000pro so internet connection can be shared for my RedHat Workstation?

P.S. Analogx's proxy I have used but Netscape on Redhat gives me Network error:I/O error. Try connect again.

This is more of a Windows question. I know that in Windows 98SE you have ICS included which allows internet sharing. Perhaps Win2K comes with something similar?

You are right..That ICS on W2wk should give me some hints...I am going to hit some of the Windows related forums but I'll be back with more question about Linux only...haha..

Hey dude.. When you set up ICS on your win machine, it will make you a disk to use in other windows machines. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you what to do to get linux working.

Its not that hard though. All you have to do is set your linux gateway IP to the IP of the windows box. Set your DNS IP to whatever DNS your windows box is set to. It should work after that..
