Home Networking Question

[Ben Beeson]

Nelson,

	Please see the note I just posted to Warren regarding the ip forwarding
question you have.  It is there in the masquerading section.

	Also, I do have two DNS server IP address entries listed in the Windows
networking seup boxes.  These IP addresses are the same ones I use in my Linux
box for my ISP.

Thanks,

Ben
