[plug] home network howto

[Andrew Pamment]

Hey...

you wanna do three things?

1) Network them
2) Get file sharing going
3) Share the net..

1) Linux-Networking-HOWTO http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/index.html

2) (few ways to do this - I suggest Samba) SMB Howto
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html

3) Linux IP Masquerading Howto
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html


The last one is proberly the most difficult to get your head around.. make
SURE you're using a decent firewall. If you're using 2.4 kernels checkout
Monmotha's script for easy masquerading and firewalls (you can look that up
yourself.. its on freshmeat)

If ya need any more help, ask nicely and if you live near a bus station I'll
give ya a hand.

Andrew
