Hi,

I've been trying to mess around with getting my internet sharing (home
network) to work for the past 2 days without any luck now.

I have two 3com ethernet cards, the first connects to the internet and the
second I'm using for my home LAN. I can connect to the internet just fine,
but I can't seem to be able to get my other computers(windows xp) to do so.
For the most part, I'm completely confused as to where to begin or what
course to follow to get my LAN working.
I hear people talk about iptables, ip masquerading...etc...most of that
doesnt make sense to me since i'm a newbie and am still in the learning
phase. I REALLY don't want to get frustrated and say "to hell with linux!".
So can someone give me some REAL pointers as to what to do to get my LAN
going?

Thanks in advance.
