  I have a quick question regarding my TCP/IP LAN.  My Warp 4.0 system is
connected through the internet through a 33.6k dialup (USR Sportster).  What 
I've been trying to do is to setup my Warp 4.0 system (AMD K5-PR133, 40M EDO)
to be a router for my lan to give my other system access to the Internet 
lso.
access to the internet also.  The other system is a WFWG 3.11 (AMD 5x86-133, 
12M) and is connected to the WARP 4.0 using 10-base2 coax.  Is it possible 
to use WARP 4.0 as a router to do this?  I've tried third party software for 
this which worked but not how I wanted it to (Internet Gate).  The third 
arty
software would not let my Warp 4.0 system have servers active.  Also, what is 
the IP address convention for a private network?  My current LAN IP address 
for my server is 192.168.69.10 (I heard the 192.168.*.* was for private 
networks).  I am also using a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.224 (not sure about 
the subnet mask).  If anyone could help me with this task, I would be in your 
debt forever. ;)
