Just curious which would be easier for internet connection (Cable) sharing -
2 Computers, 3 Nic cards, and a Network Switch
Linux machine serving internet to the Windows machine
or
the Windows machine serving internet to the Linux machine?
(the Linux machine is dual booted with Winxp. I installed Linux to play around with the OS. I've found that i do a lot of rebooting and switching between operating systems and this causes a problem for the users of the other computer. If their computer serves internet to mine, i can go back and forth between XP and Redhat without interrupting them).
Also, would i have to configure Samba or Masqing if linux was recieving internet (rather than sending it?).
Thanks.
