[linux-help] setting up gateway

[Nathan <ncozzens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like my Linux box (potato) to access the 
internet through my win9x box's modem.  So far, I've 
added a line to my "interfaces" file:
gateway 192.168.0.13

could I use a hostname there?

The proxy software I'm using on my win9x box uses a 
nonstandard port for http (6588 instead of 80).  Why 
do they do that (sometimes 8080 instead of 80)?  How 
can I make my Linux box send its http requests to the 
port my proxy is listening on?
