Set it up as on other Linux systems.
You did not say how you connect to the internet, analog modem or ISDN
card or DSL modem. Just use redhat-config-network tool to set up the
internet connection.
Then switch on IP forwarding needed for the gateway by editing
/etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Then set up your "firewalling" using appropriate iptables rules. At
least you need to activate masquerading using a rule like
iptables -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Maybe you need additional ip_conntrack modules like the one for FTP.
On the client side set the gateway your Fedora gateway. You may also use
the ISP DNS servers or else install a nameserver on your gateway and
configure your clients to use that one.
