My home computer I have previously set for laptop to use as a gateway to the internet runs xp. My laptop now run debian, but will not allow my to surf the net through a crossover cable to the home computer. I can ping to the home computer from the laptop, but nothing beyond that. To add more fun the laptop needs to be able to work on the lan that is at ASU (using dhcp). My question is what do I need to change on the laptop in order to be able to surf the web.
