Although I don't profress to know anything about windows connection sharing... If I remember right you may have to go into the network properties and bind Internet Connection sharing to your Ethernet card that goes to your @home router/modem. The preferable thing to do would be to setup your linux box as the gateway and have the windows system connect thru it. It shouldnt take more than reading 2 or 3 HOWTOs. With the linux system as the gateway, your windows box would be inherently more secure.

I am now connected to Cox@home through the Win98 machine and would like to access the internet from both machines but I can not get it to work on the Linux system.
