ok i know ICS between windows and linux has been asked a bajillion times before but i keep getting lost in the terminology. I have two NICS in my linux box and one is going to the cable modem and the other to the hub. from there i have a cable going to a few windows computers.

^^thats the layout. now when i booted up, i could not get internet to work on either the linux box nor any of the windows systems. I am sure the cabling is correct I have checked it many times. if there is something i need to configure manually...what is it?

by the way im running redhat 8.0 and windows xp

All I can think of is, did you configure the NIC that goes to the cable modem to use DHCP? I don't run redhat so don't ask me how to do it.
