Internet connection

[Toto Gamez]

While checking other pc to connect to my dial-in server, win98 can connect and browse the internet but my win xp can only connect to my dial-in server but cant browse the internet, is there anything that i have to configure on my rh9 box or on the win xp side. win98 and xp are using the same configuration.

    Hi,
    It sounds like it may be a routing issue, although I haven't worked with 
    dial-in services. If it is feasable on this box during testing, I would stop 
    iptables ('service iptables stop') until everything else is functional.

    What does the routing ('route' or 'netstat -rn') look like with the connection 
    established on server?

    Is the client getting a default route set to the ppp interface?  ('route' or 
    'netstat -rn')
