Redhat 9 -> XP Sharing

andy010 · 11-18-2003, 03:16 PM

hi

our current set up is..

My computer running XP with Adsl plugged into a hub

and 2 other computers plugged into the hub sharing my internet connection that are also using XP

I was wondering if I install redhat 9 if it is possible to still share my internet connection with the other 2 computers? and how i would do that ?

that would be great thanks

Andy

Of course and it's easy.
Basically, you just install redhatlinux 9.0 which i am using right now. don't try Fedora yet if you aren't no professional who can't fix problem by yourself. Then check if linux detect your ethenet card. If it did, just set a IP address and everything should be ready to go.
Post your "lspci" after you install it to see what it saids about your computer.
