One for outside (ADSL), one for my local network. i have setup squid and my windows boxes works OKusing squid. the problem is that i can not ping any address from my windows boxes, and the outlook does not work when try to get mail from my isp.

If you are connecting 2 computers via their NIC cards, make certain you are using one of those "crossover" cables and not a straight one (like you connect to the ADSL modem). Your machines should "see" each other before you go any further, so get the pinging to work first.

I had trouble with my machine and SuSE 9.3 trying to get the DHCP service to work (it does an automatic addressing). If you only are connecting a couple of machines, use static IP addresses and skip the DHCP stuff.
