Re: DHCP on @home

["Aaron" <psycoboy tfb com>]

I don't know if this will work or not so don't hold it against me. but setup
your card in linux like you would another computer on the network assigning
it an IP 192.168.0.* and then make sure you have share internet on, on the
win 2k box and it should work just fill in all the needed information. With
internet share the other computers don't even need to really login to the
win 2k server. I know this from experiance.
