...as access to your LAN via WiFi circumvents the firewall, in the original
placement
To troubleshoot:
Hook the both W98 box and the firewall box up to the LinkSys set to use DHCP
and go to http://192.168.1.1, blank username, admin for password. Go to the
status page, poke around on the other pages. From both boxes ping the
LinkSys's WAN IP, the DNS servers the LinkSys gets from your ISP, then try
pinging www.google.com.
Once all this is working move the workstation to the inside of your software
firewall and test from there.
