I am new to linux, a couple of days ago I got a copy of mandrake 8.o and setup a server, router firewall etc... that connects to the internet, I also setup a workstation with mandrake 8.0.
I have a network and I also have a machine running XP, now when I ping my network the XP machine and the Workstation find each other, but the reserver is unreachable.
I am trying to get my network setup so that the server connects to the internet and the workstation connects through it, someone did say I should have the server running RED HAT 7.1, but I dont know.

Any help would be good
