Ok, That worked. BTW the ethernet cards were backward. I use the command =
dmesg | grep eth to see the id numbers of the cards. Now I can get on =
the web. I am also able to ping my three win95 computers with the linux =
box. I am pretty happy with how it is going.
I tried setting up the NAT, but that did not seem to work yet. I had to =
boot the server box back to win98 to get my emails.
The book I have, red hat linux 7.1 Bible, suggested all I have to do is =
check the ipv4 box on the routing tab in the network config screen and =
set up the ipchains with "ipchains -P forward DENY", and "ipchains -A =
forward -i ppp0 -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j MASQ"
It is really nice of them to only cover point to point connections, so =
much for being a bible. I made the assumption that changing the ppp0 to =
eth1(my internet NIC) the command would work for me. Unfortunatley it =
did not. Maybe I need to try it with eth0, my internal network card.
Any suggestions?
Thanks david for helping me get my internet going.
Regards,
Cliff

In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script add a line =
that reads "DHCP_HOSTNAME=3D'your hostname as assinged by cox @home'" =
and then do ifup eth0.
That should work. Works fine for me.
