Hi, I have a simple question for some time now. If ip_forward is ON on a
machine, is every computer on the same subnet able to get it to be its
default gateway and get bandwidth from it (e.g. from an internet
connection that machine has for its own), when the purpose was for example
to plug in a laptop? Yes, No? If yes, what's the way to exclude all the
other machines without doing any weird routing that cuts them off
completely? thanks.
