I think what you're looking for is Internet Connection Sharing. I'm not sure
if XP has it available but Win98 has it on the CD.

If I remember correctly, install ICS on the WinBox and you should be able to
connect to the Internet from your laptop using a crossover cable and dhcp.

\_ My home computer I have previously set for laptop to use as a gateway to
\_ the internet runs xp. My laptop now run debian, but will not allow my to
\_ surf the net through a crossover cable to the home computer. I can ping
\_ to the home computer from the laptop, but nothing beyond that.  To add
\_ more fun the laptop needs to be able to work on the lan that is at ASU
\_ (using dhcp).
\_
\_ My question is what do I need to change on the laptop in order to be
\_ able to surf the web. Help?

Experiment with this for a bit, then get back to us:
