I also can exchange files via Samba on eth1, with a Windows XP computer
[box5] which has no internet connection other than a conventional modem
which is now useless since I terminated my service with AT&T Worldnet.
I don't often use the XP computer but I would like to be able to update
applications and sync the clock occasionally. I would like to connect
it to my ISP through this computer to avoid buying yet another wireless

I haven't had much luck "googling" but probably am not inputing the

Windows box. Can anyone suggest where to look for
information/instructions on connecting an XP system via Linux?
I'd set up the Linux box as a router/firewall using shorewall (which is
in Extras).
Here's a HOWTO:
