probably should consider using the Linux box as the firewall/gateway, but
your configuration is possible, and relatively simple. Configure
your Linux box as dynamically as possible. This should be the default
condition, when you have installed the NIC. Next, set up "Internet
Connection Sharing" or "Routing and Remote Access" on the Windows box.
Which one you use will be determined by which version of Windows you have.</font></font>

I'm of the opinion that most people do it the other way around.
They use Linux as the master connection and Windows as the slave.
As I understand it, they make this decision based on Linux's superior firewall
capabilities, and more overall versatility in connecting to different operating
systems. In short, Windows as a multifaceted operating system is
less than optimal.

am new to Linux. I am trying to configure it so I can connect to the internet.
I have another machine running windows and connected to the net via a cable
modem. I want to use the windows machine as a gateway and network the linux
box to this machine. I am completely clueless on how to go about doing
it. Any help would be appreciated.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>thanks,himanshu</font></font></blockquote>
