[LBo] nework connection of linux box through windows machine

[Lonnie Mullenix]

David,

I would very strongly recommend a Debian netinstall option for another
distro.  You will know almost immediately if you are going to have any
success.  It works like this, you boot with the netinstall CD, and you
will either have a connection or not.   It will let you know very early
on in the installation because it checks for your network because it
installs from the Debian mirrors, no network, no install.

I am using a D-Link card, but it is the Orinoco, I'm thinking, chip set.

Works a charm.

HTH,
