RE: IP Masquerading & Windows Internet Sharing

["David Talkington" <dtalk soltec net>]

rofl ... how else do you answer this?  It's like asking how fast the Escort
goes when you've just been offered a free 944 ...

I noticed some curious things in MS' description of how that works, by the
way ... apparently it uses DHCP, which means you might need to reconfigure
your network to accommodate it.  Further (get this) it not only requires
Windows 9x on the clients, but also IE3 or later ... what the hell does the
browser have to do with routing ... ?  Weird.  I just don't see that MS is
helping their cause by continuing to deny the existence of other operating
systems.  To be fair, they're obviously targeting it at casual Windows users
who have little use for a network except for modem sharing, but why not do
it right and make it a real player in the field?
