hey,,

i have the weirdest problem ... lol but i know its simple because on Windows 2000 it works fine and efficently!

why shouldnt it work even BETTER for Fedora right?

anyways,

i am trying to commuinacte with my Dads pc running Windows 95,

his settings are :

ip : 192.168.0.25
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
no gateway
no dns

and my linux machine is :

ip : 192.168.0.35
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
no gateway
no dns

what i am trying to achieve is to make my Linux the server for internet sharing... i want to share the internet off the Linux machine, how do i do that? i am running Fedora C O R E 1

I think you have to configure your PC as the gateway of the other computer, and install a NIC, then hook the two PC's up with Cat5 .

Unless you are talking Dial-up, then I dont know.
