RE: mulinux as a dial up gateway

What I did was during the mandrake LAN setup on first installation was
enetered the IP address of the mulinux box.
On the windows machine I selected the IP address of the mulinux box as
my default gateway.
I think this was OK.
Is there some setting in mulinux I ame overlooking other than just
enabling port forwarding or is the default setup OK for my situation.
I'm afraid I find networking a bit bewildering at the best of times.
Thanks for the reply
Adrian

Here's a dumb question: Have you told the other machines to treat the
mulinux machine as a gateway? You'd do it with something like
route add default gw mulinux
on your linux machines.
