I changed the router (netgear box) netmask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 so it feels also responsible for the 192.168.100 network - and it works ! I can ping the netgear, I can ping the internet and so on.
The only problem is, my win maschine has a static ip, and thus a static DNS, whereas I would like it to get the DNS server IP eather from the netgear router or from the linux, which gets it from the router...
But I guess that is a win problem - so I search some help somewhere else -
Many Thanx,
Ron

Cool, I didn't think of that one, but it is quite logical :)

For you windows, well, you would have to install a dhcp server on your linux (dhcpd), then configure it and it will work. Make sure it listens only on the interfaces that faces the windows machine (192.168.100.x).

Webmin makes it easy to configure a dhcp server.
Apt makes it easy to install it.

hi - thanx for your answer - I will try it this evening -
I just started a new thread about configuring the network on startup -
will be glad for help there :-)
("configuring network on startup")

Cheers,
Ron
