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.

I have another machine running windows and connected to the net via a cable

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,</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>himanshu</font></font></blockquote>
