It's called NAT (Network Address Translation) to everyone except Linux
users.

Robert, if you connect to the internet over a modem, "man ppp", it
can do NAT itself.  If you use something else (xDSL perhaps), look at
"natd".  I'd recommend you get the BSD box's Internet connection working
before you try getting Win98 to work through it though, so you know
where the problem is, if any.
