[NTLK] Accessing Net over a Windoze lan

Newbie Question:
Can a Newton access the Internet over a Windows ethernet lan that uses a
software proxy server that allows the client machines to access the net
using the ip address of the host machine?
Will the Windows software proxy server recognize and distribute the incoming
requests from the Newton?
If so, I know you have to assign the Newton an IP address, but what do you
put for the gateway router address? Is that the IP address of the TCP
protocol on the Windows machine running the proxy server?
And what about primary DNS and name server address? What info goes there, if
indeed, the Newton will connect over a Windows peer to peer lan.
And what this newbie should have asked first, is there a Net connect faq?
Thanks
Tom
