The difference is simple: Anyone can give advice such as "write yourself a firewall and routing script" or "try it with webmin" - you can only hope he has access to those.

You "understood" he has a fully configured network and a server with at least two Ethernet Cards, able to do the forwarding/NAT. If *any* of those assumptions is wrong, he may end up with a misconfigured network and NO internet access. how cool.

And how would that be worse than the popular OS that has a checkbox for internet sharing - which only works when you have a suitable network topology? Microsoft does it like this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 in case you are confused about the term.

At least microsoft does install DHCP and leaves no doubt any other method is not supported. period. How many sites have you seen with Internet connection sharing via XP, how many persons you know use the in-built VPN concentrator function ?

Another hint: HP-UX has ip_forwarding enabled by default. One only needs to configure a strict set of firewall Rules and/or enable NAT (if needed).

So, please stop being rude and comparing with *whatsoever*.
