This may attract some laughs but I am having trouble getting past move
1.

I want to set up something like this:

                 network modem
   Intel Box ---------------- Windoze Box ------------------ ISP
   --------- -----------
   Red Hat 7.2 Windows ME
   Oracle 8i MS Office
                              Oracle clients
                               e.g. Warehouse
                                    Builder
                              email client
                              Web browser
                                    |
                                    |
                                 Printer
                                 -------

All the docs start by saying 'with your IP Address...'

The questions are:

- I suppose I will need an IP address for both the Linux and Windoze
boxes. Can I just make them up or do I have to get them from
somewhere?
- My ISP uses dynamic IP assignment - I hever know what I will get
from one session to the next. If I have already assigned my own IP
Address to the MS box, what happens when I go on-line.

I'm pretty confused here, I can tell ya.

TIA
