Yep, I am in Win98 right now. winipcfg shows the IP address of my firewall
in the default gateway, DNS Server and DHCP server fields. I can email. I
can surf. And I know I am using the firewall to get to the net because I
can follow the physical cables and this computer is not directly connected
to the DSL modem.

Excellent tip.
