how to share internet connection in fedora

[moi]

The easy way to share the internet connection with some PCs in the back 
(assuming there is a correctly configured network) would be to enable 
IP-forwarding (with /etc/sysctl.conf -> enable ipV4_forward).

Second step would be to enable NAT, e.g. "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING 
-s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE", assuming the internal network 
is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0. These rules can also be defined in 
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.

Either way, we know nothing of Azeez´ config and especially have no 
specs regarding his requirements. as a result, I would prefer to know 
more about the setup before telling him how to do this - just as Bill 
said (it was perhaps in a rude manner, but nonetheless perfectly ok).

regards
rainer
