Well, it's still probably better if you use Linux as the gateway machine,
but still...
You haven't told us very much about your setup so it's difficult to tell
you exactly how to configure your network...
Try this though:
On your linux box, as root, run "netconfig"
Then, in the relevant fields type an IP address for your Linux box (it
must be on the same subnet as your w2k box).
So, assuming that your windows box is 192.168.1.1, make your Linux box
192.168.1.10 or something like that.
For the netmask put 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: the ip address of your windows box (so in this example
192.168.1.1)
And for the primary nameserver, either put 192.168.1.1 or the ip address
of a public DNS server that you know.
Then click "OK"
then type /etc/init.d/network restart
a) then try pinging your gateway: ping 192.168.1.1
b) if that works, try pinging a domain outside your network: ping
google.com
if a and b work, you're set. If not, type "ifconfig" and "route" and see
if all the settings you have made have taken.
