When I add these static IPs, do I neet to created submasks and default gateway access? Here's what I got so far. I'm using Network Configuration tool for my Adsl connection. So, in Network configuration tool I have 2 physical devices: eth0 and eth1. I created a logical devices for an ADSL connection. From the Network configuration tool, I can see this device as: Devices ->ppp0 , Nickname-> eth0_ADSL, Type-> xDSL. My internet connection in the fedora computer is fine. I got a ethernet cable on device eth1 that goes to my computer running Windows XP. So, as I'm a total beginner in Linux, what are my next steps??? - Configure something else in Network Configuration tool...? - Configure Firestaster, what exactly...?? I'd really appreciate any help. -- Leandro
