At the moment I can Ping the Linux box from the host, even transfer data
across. What I cannot do is access the internet from the linux box. Any
hints on what I have missed (bear in mind you might have to 'walk' me
through a few options!). Is it likely to be something fom Win98? Or have I
enabled something that should be disabled? In othr words give me a few
things to double check! Sorry for sounding ignorant, just that I am!
