Hi all,

I was wondering about the feature of WinXP that allows you to "share"
dial-up Internet connections. Does this turn the WinXP box into a
gateway or just a HTTP proxy server? How would I access this shared
connection via a Linux box that is connected to the WinXP box on a LAN?

I don't have an XP box, but I think it is used as a gateway. You could
do it the other way around and use the Linux box as the gateway for the
XP.
