But now I cannot access the internet from my laptop through the desktop. I looked at the various tools available in FC-2, but I didn't see anything which allowed me to set this up. I know how to set it up without using FC-2 tools, and have returned it now to its previous working state. But are there tools in FC-2 to do this? It seems surprising to me if there is not, as this must be what many if not most Fedora users will want, and there is a relatively straightforward way of doing it in Windows. But maybe I have overlooked something? Just to clarify: my desktop is connected to the internet by ADSL/pppoe (with DHCP). I have two LANs, running on ethernet and WiFi (eth1 and eth2). I want to be able to access the internet from any machine on these LANs (in a relatively safe way). My question is: are there tools in FC-2 to set this up? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
