[NTLUG:Discuss] quick NIC question

This email is going from one system running an un-named OS in through a
3-com network card on a dual Pentium pro RedHat 7.3 box, than out through
the Intel based motherboard NIC.

It was easy to setup initially, but getting the fire-walling to work the way
I wanted it to was a little bit more of a challenge.

Also, now that AT&T Broadband doesn't allow you to configure static IPs
anymore, I have all Masq'd, private, IPs behind the Linux box.

Hope this helps.

Rick.
