[lug] linux to windows and beyond (networking)

[Shannon Johnston]

Windows 98 Second Edition has internet connection sharing that you can't
install during original installation, but you can install later under the
Add/Remove Programs>Windows tab in the control panel. Once this is set,
you just use your windows machine as the gateway in your RH box. I even
had it set to where it would dial the modem if I tried to access the
internet with the other machine. Ah... the old days. I'm too spoiled
now...
