Well, now I am completely lost! Switched cards, cables, no-hub,
linked through the hub, even reconnected the WIN machine. The only
time this doesn't work is when the 192.168.1.x machine connects
through the hub to the linux machine and then masqs to the 'net.
Tomorrow I'll bring home a different machine (and a new hub and
network cables) and start playing with variables.
Sigh.... and just when I almost get there.
