Uh...no? He wants both the Linux box and the windows box on the same
ethernet port, i.e. using the SAME IP address (I doubt that GATech gives
you more than one). So the easiest (although for such a small network, it's
almost a toss-up) solution is to give the PC a static IP like 192.168.1.2
(in fact i recommend that one) and the second ethernet card on the Linux box
192.168.1.1 and then letting the primary ethernet card use DHCP to get it's
IP, and setting up IP Masquerading. That way, if he wants to add more
boxen, he just has to hook them up to the secondary ethernet card's
network, and give them unique IP's in the 192.168.0.0/16 subnet.

Well, I've seen loads of your posts to this list. From what I've seen in
the past year or 2, you seem to be leaps and bounds ahead of me in
electronics, but you seem to know considerably less about software. And
just because you can set up a pair of Linux boxen doesn't mean you know "the"
solution to a problem. Anyone with a little time and experience can set up
a Linux box, there is almost always more than one solution to a problem
(although in this case I don't see any easy one other than masquerading,
becuase you're trying to carry two boxen over one IP).
