Yep, I am in Win98 right now.  winipcfg shows the IP address of my firewall 
in the default gateway, DNS Server and DHCP server fields.  I can email.  I 
can surf.  And I know I am using the firewall to get to the net because I 
can follow the physical cables and this computer is not directly connected 
to the DSL modem.

Excellent tip.
