Hey all, maybe someone can give me some info here, as im confusing the heck 
outta myself.

I have my linux machine, which is connected to the internet via a house 
server (running 2k) with IP address 192.168.0.165/255.255.255.0. It hits the 
internet fine. Due to lack of hub space and other issues, I want to set up 
the windows machine (right next to me on the desk) to hit the internet via 
the linux box. So I added a second card, and connected them via a crossover 
cable. For the moment I assigned it a 192.168.2.1 IP address on the 
255.255.0.0 subnet (reading on the web somewhere, that linux doesnt like 
routing seprate networks on the same subnet). Anyway, I can ping the linux 
machine and the windows machine just fine, but the windows machine cant get 
out to the world. For the moment I have the windows machine set as 
192.168.2.10 on the 255.255.0.0 subnet. It must be something im doing wrong 
with my route, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Im running RH 7.2. 
Following is my /sbin/route output:Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1

Thanks in advance!
