Ummm....why? why would you want to do this? If you're trying to do
firewalling, cygwin (and windows) are not secure. If you're trying to
do internet connection sharing (without worrying about security issues)
then windows98+(NT?W2K?) have tools built in -- and speed would SUCK if
you had to plunk through TWO separate IP stacks, each followed its own
separate layer of cygwin unix-ization. Blech.
AAANNNNDDDD....those little DSL/cable firewall/dhcp/nat boxes work
really well, and cost very little, and use far less electricity than a
whole windows/cygwin system (important when it needs to be on 24/7).
Just my 0.02.
