I setup a windows comp to do ics but decided I needed more control so I am trying to use a linux comp. heres the how to I am trying to follow.

I will have both windows and debian machines connected. the first thing is to get my daughters winxp comp connected to the internet since she needs it for school. I need a central server to control which comp accesses what. most of the windows comps will be passing through to the internet while my linux machines will be accessing each other. maybe later a samba share. but right now I only need proxy and dns. I would say doing it with windows was easy but I learned how to do that from posts on this sight and someone might remember them. I will say it is now easy to do windows proxy but I need to replace a active directory domain with something differant. servers is where linux should excel. heres what I get when I type route.
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default dslrouter.alban 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I am doing something wrong but do not know what.
