Hi Art,

You need to set up the windows machine with a static IP address like
196.168.1.1.

In order to do this double click on the
             My Comuter ico
                   |
             Control Panel
                   |
                Network
                   |
                TCP/IP

In this box set up your gateway address to be the same as the ethernet
card on your forewall that connects to your Windows box.

Let's say your firewall has three nic cards where one is connected to
the modem, and the other two are connected to your private networks.

You should stipulate the following on your firewall
     Internet card:		real IP Addresss
     Windows Net Card:          192.168.10.10
     Other Net Card:            192.168.1.10

The above address are just examples.  Another thing is to make sure that
that no two ethernet cards have the same address.

Back to Windows:
Set your IP info accordingly
	IP Address:	192.168.10.100
	Subnet Mask:	255.255.255.0

	Gateway:	192.168.10.10

	DNS Config:	Enable DNS and enable your DNS Addresses

I think thqat this is all that you have to do.

Have a great day :-)
