BTW, Thanks for your continued help. It is one of the reasons I like
working with Linux even when there are challenges.

I corrected that. I had tried that before and had been experimenting. If I
understand things correctly, the linux machine does not need to know that
part of the physical path to the router (192.168.2.1) has to go through the
Windows pc. Is that right?

That file is under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory and does not
have a gateway entry.

Well, 1 step closer I think since I am now able to ping 192.168.2.2
successfully.
I think my problem is in getting Win98 to use both network devices. When I
disconnect the USB nic, winipcfg shows the 10/100 lan card, when the usb nic
is connected and working, it does not. When I look at the network
properties, everything looks ok, IP address and everything are there.
Any ideas on the Windows side?
