    Thanks, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. 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...
