Any one knows how to set a laptop running fedora 2 through a cable to an xp pc then onwards onto the internet?
This setup is so I can update system and then download programs and start finding out how I can harness the power of lienx to my benefit.
Go gentle with me first forage into linex
If necessary point me to a website with simple instructions I am in your hands
It is more desirable to have Linux responsible for sharing the connection. I'm not sure how Windows XP shares it's connection, but I'm sure that after running the Internet Sharing Wizard (or whatever it's called) on Windows, it should be just a matter of pumping 192.168.0.1 as your DNS server and gateway into your Linux network settings.
