[lug] Masq'ing w/ W9x Clients

After using a canned ipchains / masq scipt, I seem to be able to access
www sites from a 2nd Linux box on the LAN.  I can also ping IP@'s from a
W9x client, but I can't get name resolution, as web URL's given to
Netscape on the W9x client won't resolve.

Is this situation best handled via proxy on the masq / dialup linux
machine?  I have the W9x IP config for the NIC pointing to the Linux
dialup machine NIC IP@ as default gateway, but I'm missing something
here.

I've also tried setting up the W9x NIC with a DNS address of the Linux
machine, and running a caching name server on the Linux machine.  I'm
lost!
