Hi David, thanks for your attention. I'll try to detail what i want to. I might be getting confused because of my english. This time i'll try to clearify things. I have 2 pcs home. Both of them runs windows xp (and one of them also runs fedora). This two computers are part of my domestic intranet. In other works, i have a windows network called "HOME". This way, pc 1 can see pc 2 and vice-versa. Also, if you share a folder in pc 1, the other can access it (and vice-versa). This is just an ordinary windows network. When i connect pc 1 to the internet (using windows and adsl modem --- I'M NOT USING THE MODEM AS A ROUTER), i configured my windows network to allow pc 2 to share this connection, what makes sense, as they're in the same intranet. Recently, i installed fedora in pc 1 (it has now two o.s.). Pc 1 has one partition that can be seen by both operating systems. This is a vfat partition that can be seen by fedora under the folder /windows and can be seen by windows by D:\. When i connect pc 1 to the internet running fedora, pc 2 is no longer able to share the internet connection. So, i only have pc 1 connected to the internet. What i want to build a "home" or "domestic" intranet between pc 1 and pc 2, just like the windows "home" intranet i have. This way, when i connect pc 1 to the internet running fedora, pc 2 can share this connection. Then i'd say, with all my lack of linux experience, that i have to do 2 things. 1 - Create a intranet between pc 1 running fedora and pc 2 running xp. 2 - Configure this intranet to allow pc 2 to share a connection to the internet when pc 1 is on the internet. Have i made myself clear? I'm very new to linux, that's why i have no clue from where i need to start. Thanks.
