Sharing Internet connection

Hi.
I have mandrake 9.1 with dial-up internet.
I also have a win98 box with LAN. Sharing files OK.

I need to share the internet connection with the win98. DRAKGW only stuffs things up(samba).
Can anyone suggest a site that can explain procedure of what I am trying to do?
I don't (yet) understand how to setup a LAN connection on windoze.
And Drawgw is compaining about firewalls I dont have....

thanks

If I remember correctly, Mandrake has a GUI tool called Draknet which allows you to configure internet connection sharing.

I-net sharing is pretty much done through your firewall. First you need two running network cards and I like to use shorewall.

Shorewall I think is probably the best firewall software out there.
