kernel compile gone wrong.

Sun Sep 23 12:27:03 EDT 2001

Hi,

It's a Windows NT workstation - if I can configure it to be a proxy without
paying MS a packet, I'd be very interested in knowing how.

Best wishes.

Tim

I don't understand. A Win NT server on your lan can serve you ip whether
or not your client machine is linux or Wuindows, or something else. This
doesn't matter. If you have ethernet in your linux computer, plug it into
the lan and provide the appropriate data via ifconfig and route.
