[Dnsmasq-discuss] no IP from Linux/DNSmasq for NT-workstation

Hello List


I would like to be able to connect an old NT4 workstation (I do know NT is
old, very old:-) on a remote location via an USB-tethered  mobile
phone(Android/CM12.1) via a Linux-box to the internet (in order to be able
to up- and download some few mails).

Since USB is not supported on NT4, I am wondering if a Linux-Box with
DNSmasq could be used as a DHCP-server for the NT4-machine. At the moment
the mailer software running under NT4 cannot be installed on a newer
operating system :-(


Unfortunaletly the DHCP-client of the NT4-box does not receive an IP,
neither its working with static IP's for the NT4 workstation :-(


Any ideas what am I doing wrong?


Any feedback is appreciated very much! Thank's a lot!

Bill
