[gentoo-user] connection sharing question.

[Richard J.]

Hi   I have a question, and I am learning that getting an answer, and then finding someone to explain the answer is a bit difficult, lol.    My current set up is I have two computers running the most awful operating system, Windows XP.  My internet connection is an external modem, sad, but this far in the middle of nowhere 56k is the best i can do.  Anyway, both computers are connected with a single Ethernet cross over cable, no switch or hub.  And put together as a home network to share my internet connection with the business computer.  What I want to do is change my computer to Gentoo.  And I am wondering, if I do that, is it still possible to share my connection to the other computer which has to stay on XP?  If it is possible is there anyone who can't help me do it.   Thanks Richard
