DNS in Overland Park Roadrunner

[Eric Weide]

I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm sure I've read that internet 
connection sharing on windows 98/ME only works with 95/98/ME clients.  I'd 
swap the PC.  I am on RR south, in Iola Kansas.  I use my PC as the firewall 
(Mandrake 8.0/Windows ME/Windows 2000 Server...tri-booting, for testing.)  I 
have a windows 98 client.  I set the client for 192.168.0.2 and set the dns 
correctly and the gateway to my firewall (192.168.0.1) and the client will 
get on the internet no matter which OS I'm running.
