Leon,
Based on your answer below, I'm sure you'll solve my problem easily.

I have a simple lan, 2 linux PCs connected via a router. they both
have Class C addresses (192.168.0.100/101). The router is 192.168.0.1

PC 1 dials out (pppd) to the web and can browse the web, get mail no
problem. Both PCs can see each other (ping) and I can mount ext2
volumes from one PC to the other.

PROBLEM: PC 2 cannot ping any web addresses. I run squid on PC1 and
tell the browser on PC 2 to connect via the squid proxy on PC 1 ...
this works fine but I need to have PC 2 see the web directly.

I think this is a route command using gateway issue but I don't know
enough about it. PC1 is dynamically assigned an IP address by my ISP.

Thanks,
Asher
