When i leave college in a few days i will also be leaving this wonderful T1 connection and the constant connection and looking at 3 months of 56k (ohh lord help me 1MB/s vs 5KB/s) Thus now that i am full time linux user (hurray) it may make my home network not work as smooooth as it did with XP (note: not prasing M$ at all)
The nice XP to XP to XP to XP thing: over x-mas break i had all 4 comp using winXP 1 server and 3 clients (i know xp isn't servre software but follow me on this, hehe) With a xp server it had the nice dial up gateway set up were you could share access to all the comp to be able to disconnect and connect to the internet with out having to go to the server and do it. My prob: Is there anyway to add a linux computer in to the network and have the same convenience as if i was using XP (being able to disconnect the net connection on the server from my linux box) I don't want to change there server to linux because it took my parents a week or so to fully under stand how to login in to xp. The word linux just would scare them. It would be fine if we the internet on all the time but we only have one phone line. Anyone got any idea maybe a little progam that someone has wrote that will do this or maybe some of you coders could make a little program that would do what i need (i'm not a programmer) Solution: <solution inserted here> </solution>
