Thank you for all the responses to my home network question. I am very
impressed with all of you and you willingness to help. I am afraid that most
of your suggestions are over my head at this point. I am just wanting to use
my linux box as a router and connect to my windows box to share the DSL
connection. I am not ready to start writing scripts or compiling anything.
What I know about Linux I have learned on my own and have had no help up
until this point. I suppose I could just spend the 80 bucks for a linksys
router but I would rather learn to take advantage of linux. Please tell me
(remember I am a complete newbie) if there is an easier way. I will be at
the next Mesa meeting if anyone would be wiiling to talk with me about this.
Thanks again, Mike
