W. Syme had the following opinion:
Can anyone around here help? If not, I'll subscribe to some Linux
groups to look for help, which is maybe what I should do to begin
with, but I seem to remember that several people around here are
experienced with Linux and Windows, so I thought I'd give it a shot
here first.
Easy, just use any program with NAT. Example: Wingate (which is
what I use) You can also buy a hardware gateway which also has NAT.
Another acronym, great....
What does it stand for?
I'd look it up, but I'm too lazy right now...
Network Address Translation
The great thing about it is that there's no client and no special
protocol. You just install NAT on the server, and every os that has
tcp/ip can now access the internet through the server.
That might just be what I'm looking for... You're using it now
between a Linux box and Windows box?
Right now I'm using one windows server with 3 windows clients, but I
have done it with a mac without any problems in the past.
It works like this:
The client pc makes a connection like it normally would. The server
intercepts it, and makes the actual connection to the internet,
substituting the client's ip with it's own. It then remembers that a
connection was made to ip X. When X sends a reaction, the gateway then
passes the reaction on to the client, and voila.

Sounds pretty slick. This is freeware? If not, what does it cost,
and is it available for Windows 98?

Cracks are out of the question, I take it?

For the most part, yes. I Googled around and found the following
link that looks like a pretty good product for $25. I don't mind
spending that kind of money for something if it works like it says
it should.
http://www.nat32.com/
I found some others as well, and it looks like a pretty good way
to proceed from here. If it works as advertised, I shouldn't have any
trouble connecting a Linux box up to the Windows PC and gaining
internet access. I would think I could also setup NFS between the
two boxes and share files and directories.
