The FC4 box has an onboard network connection (going to the winXP box with a crossover cable) and a NIC going to the modem. I got a little stuck on configuring the FC4 box because I wanted it to be the middle man. But it looks as if I'm going to have to do it with the winXP box because I can't get the winXP box online through the Fedora box. Tomorrow I'll put the spare NIC in the winXP box and try it as the middle man. If anybody on-list has gotten this to work successfully, then PLEASE share your setup with me! IPtables scripts a must!!! I don't want the winXP box as the middle man because I don't want to turn it on all the time...
