Hi George
Took your suggesstion and changed the gateway for comp B to
192.168.0.1 which is the ip for comp A. Now comp B can ping the dynamic
address of my ISP.

This is before the change:
eric:~ # route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

This is after the change:
eric:~ # route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

eric:~ # ping -c 4 64.24.210.88

Now that I can ping the internet form comp B how can I web browser
to connect to the internet.

TIA
