BTW the ethernet cards were backward. I use the command = dmesg | grep eth to see the id numbers of the cards. Now I can get on = the web. I am also able to ping my three win95 computers with the linux = box. I am pretty happy with how it is going. I tried setting up the NAT, but that did not seem to work yet. I had to = boot the server box back to win98 to get my emails. The book I have, red hat linux 7.1 Bible, suggested all I have to do is = check the ipv4 box on the routing tab in the network config screen and = set up the ipchains with "ipchains -P forward DENY", and "ipchains -A = forward -i ppp0 -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j MASQ" It is really nice of them to only cover point to point connections, so = much for being a bible. I made the assumption that changing the ppp0 to = eth1(my internet NIC) the command would work for me. Unfortunatley it = did not. Maybe I need to try it with eth0, my internal network card. Any suggestions? Thanks david for helping me get my internet going.

In=20 the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script add a line that = reads=20 "DHCP_HOSTNAME=3D'your hostname as assinged by cox @home'" and then do = ifup=20 eth0.
 
That=20 should work. Works fine for me.
