I currently have RH 8.0 installed and running as a gateway for my PPPoE DSL connection. I used the Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO by David A. Ranch to get my WinXP machine to access the internet through my Linux machine.
I would like to install a third nic into my linux box and connect it to a second Win machine.
I have the following questions:
1. How do I get the second win machine to access the internet?
I understand a little of what I did initially to get my WinXP machine, but not really enough to start editing the files myself.
2. How can I bridge the two nic's so I can use samba later to make the two windows machines talk to each other?
If you are wondering why I don't just go buy a hub and connect my two windows machines to it, I want to get experience with Linux. I would like to get as good with linux as most of the people who post on this forum. I also have a spare nic lying around the house. So it would be cheaper.
Thanks in advance for any help.
