This is a question for debian-user, not debian-devel. Posting first as
html, then plaintext does not improve your karma ;-)
I use the ipmasq package (but not dhcp) on the firewall, run linux, hurd
and win2000 on my desktop. The setup requred on win2000 was (if I
remember correct) just to set the assigned ip-number somewhere in the
control panel. If the network setup for windows is wrong, you can try to
contact microsoft support. The firewall does not have to know anything
about if you boot debian or mswindows on your desktop.
