PS..I'm beginner! :slight_smile:

One year ago I had this problem too... and still.
So I'm using socks proxy. Install and configure it on your Linux, then you
can use and other - Windows.
But the best way will be - hub.

you can use NAT

how?...sory but i'm beginer

I've got a mini switched hub and two computers running winXP, the first computer to start up grabs an ip address and is fine, the second doesn't get an ip address. Is this a configuration issue or is it because my ISP won't allow me to share the connection?

Probably the latter. You should buy a router.

I'm using a linux (REDHAT) 9.0 i can't havae access to network management tools i have tried all i could and yet it all proved abotive. And the second problem is that i want to know how i can masquerade IP Chains i really love using Linux operating system.PLease help me out

use NAT, iptables is the best I know to do this on Linux
