[plug] routing

[Paul Dean]

Hya,

Could I suggest that you make the SuSe box the dial out machine and
solve all your routing problems.

But if not then ics sets up a vitual adapter to do all it's routing and
is a pain in the butt to configure to anything but the default settings.

ICS works more like a dhcp server, asigning ip addresses to machines in
the 192.186.0.x ip range.
Set your eth to BOOTPROTO=dhcp in the cfg file or download a windows
proxy like analogX (I think tucows has this).

But at the end of the day I think use your SuSe box.

Hope this helps...
