Internet sharing problem
 

Ok ... here is my problem ...

i'm a newbie in linux .... and i want to make a proxy server for my network
to share the internet connection .... cable modem internet connection ....

k ... i have a switch and a ethernet adapter ....
the adapter is recognized by fedora core 3 ....
so ... i make the ip , gateway & sub settings ....
i make the dns settings ...
and it still doesn't work

when i save the settings & run the internet config utility & the network device controller
it tells me to restart ....

i reboot & the computer gets stuck at sendmail or somethin ...

so ... how the hell am i going to make the proxy server or at least my computer
browse the internet ???

as i heard squid is the best proxy server .... some useful step by step instructions on how to
install it ?
