Comment W95/W98 as gateway (Score 1) 7
Unless your W95 box is running gateway software like Sygate, you'll end up tearing your hair out. Another alternative, if it's not possible to use the Linux box as the gateway, would be to upgrade to Windows 98, which has a feature called "Internet Connection Sharing" designed to do exactly what you have in mind (although it changes the Ethernet adaptor to 192.168.0.1 for the duration of the Internet connection)
