Hi all,
I have two computers connected in LAN.
Computer-1 is having....
-Window XP , Fedora 7
-2 LAN Cards
-1st LAN card is having Internet connection cable directly.
-2nd LAN card is connected to Computer-2 through cable.

Computer-2 is having....
-Window XP
-1 LAN Card : Connection to Computer-1 through cable.


Problem :
When I run Window XP on both Computers, then I can able to access Internet through both Computers.
But when I run Fedora 7 on Computer-1, then the I cannot able to access Internet through Computer-2. In this case I can access Internet from Computer-1(having Fedora 7).


What should I do to access Internet from Computer having WindowXP which is connected to Computer having Fedora 7 with Internet ?

PLZ give detail steps........
THANK YOU

You will need to make the Linux host into a router/firewall. There are many firewall script generators for Linux, as well as a few canned firewall/router packages. The one I like is designed for a home DSL/Cable connection to the internet, homeLANSecurity. It will pay to do a little online research on the subject. Keywords to search for should include 'firewall', 'router', 'netfilter', 'iptables' and of course 'linux'. Your Fedora distro may already have a GUI firewall builder installed.
