Well, if your NT box is a client workstation on your lan, it still gets its ip service from a server somewhere. That's the server that counts. Now, if you don't have enough physical connections, you may need to get a hub. If both the NT box and the linux box are going to be on the lan at the same time, you may need your IS folks to allow that--or maybe you don't. I don't know what the setup there is, obviously. If they're serving dhcp, you can likely just attach, though. Also, you might want to just physically take the nt box off the net and put the linux box on for the current purpose. Simply unplug the one and plug into the other. Unless they're checking your ethernet card's mac address, this should work. To get ba k to your point, yes, if your client box is just that, an NT client, you aren't going to do masquariding and ip forwarding without paying $ to M$ for server modules. But, take heart, your linux box can do this for free for you.
