can two diff OS be networked?

I want to share cable connection with a computer running ME and I'm running Mandrake 8.2, anyone know how to do that?

Haven't used mandrake in a long time, but from what I remember:

1. Open up Mandrake Control Center
2. There should be an 'Internet Sharing' section, open it
3. There is a nice little wizard that you go through to set it up, do so
4. You are done.

Now just set up your WinMe rig to use the IP of the Mandrake rig as the 'default gateway', and you should have internet functionality.
