yes... that's one of the jobs that a router does... you make sure that the
machine that is connected to the internet is also set up for IP routing...
i have had both an OS/2 and a DOS router set up and both have routed stuff
for OS/2, DOS and windows boxes ;-) in my cases, i was using the 10.*.*.*
addresses for all boxes on my local lan side and my regular IP number was
assigned to the internet side of the router box... things worked pretty well
except that i had to get inbound email via another means. outbound email was
no problem. additionally, most all services were available to all machine.
