Subject: [gentoo-user] Internet connection sharing
Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2006 12:03:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10606111203m385f149coc9c3288e79cedf08@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

My Gentoo workstation connects to my Gentoo router's wireless WPA
connection just fine, but the wireless card built into my girlfriend's
XP laptop does not support a WPA connection at all.  I won't use WEP,
but I really need to get her connected.  The router's single ethernet
port is being used by the DSL modem, but my workstation's ethernet
port is free.  What would I need to do to share my workstation's
connection to the router with her via the workstation's ethernet port?
 Would I need to set my workstation up as a full-blown router via:
