It works great for what you want to do, I use mine just as you want. The learning curve is a little different. In conclusion: I am going to have to RTFM because I don't want to use windows, I want the computer to be accessible from the outside, and I don't want to buy more hardware. It is just a matter of getting a good book. In windows any semi-idiot can make a little home network just by clicking on "share internet connection" in the network setup. The bad thing is that without installing a decent firewall (and paying for it) the computer has no security and it is completely exposed to viruses and attacks of all kinds. You can be a semi-idiot with Linux also, you just have to work a little harder. I can not think of any good reasons why in Linux it should not be possible to set up a simple network as easily as in windows and have also good security. I have seen many small offices with such insecure windows networks infested by viruses. You can have an insecure Linux network also. Don't give up. Did Linux see both of your network cards OK? Steve RH folks I hope you are reading. -daniel On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 00:37, John Fox wrote: > The attach -- ______________________________________________________________________ Daniel Dui [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Computer Science (+44) 020 7679 7192 University College London http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/d.dui -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
