It mentioned using NATD, which I'm not familiar with, but I was curious if this was the only approach... or preferred. I have a cable modem which receives a dynamic IP address from the cable company, so, I have to devise a means such that the gateway machine I create will go out to the cable modem (like Windoze95 does) look for the dhcp broadcast, get the IP address, set it, and then do IP masquerading. I figured I would create an RFC network internally and run dhcpd on that gateway so that my Windoze boxes will just boot up when on the LAN. I figured that this topic is popular enough that there might be a good "HOWTO" document you could point me to. Thanks alot!
