I'm going to use the internet connection sharing NHF to set up a linux machine to share a win2k machines internet connection but what protocols will I need installed in Win2k? I currently have:
Client For Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Do I need any others?
Thanks

You only really need TCP/IP, but the others won't do any harm and are useful in various circumstances (IPX/SPX for games.) I haven't read the NHF but you might need to change some settings in TCP/IP to point to the gateway or proxy.

Its not working! I installed Slackware which has setup my PCMCIA Ethernet card fine and I used netconfig to setup the network. The laptop will connect to the network and the ip 192.68.0.2 is assigned fine but I can't ping 192.68.0.1 (the host machines ip) from it or vice versa. I have also set up the subnetmask correctly and the gateway as 192.68.0.1 and if I make it anything other than that it wont connect to the network. I have set my isp nameserver addresses in /etc/resolv.conf and I know they're right but still nothing. I can ping 192.68.0.0 from the laptop and it gets a response so I thought the desktop ip may be that but it isnt and when I make the gateway that it wont connect to the network. Btw, when I'm using netconfig in Slack I made the domain the name of my windows workgroup, was that wrong? If it isnt what else can I do to get this working?
Thanks

Doesn't matter! FINALLY its pinging and I can use ftp to send files from the host to the laptop (forget Samba).
