Thank you Brian, but the point is I already had this connection sharing, and I was able to set it up with the help of some list members ( infact you were the one who helped me out alot back then :) )
but the problem is that while having this sharing, and Linux was used as a firewall, and Bastille was running...etc. I had performance problems, my connection used to go down a lot, and when I contacted the ISP their technician came in and said that the reason why I was getting disconnected is becoz the NIC was trying to connect with a 100 speed while the line can only handle 10, thats why i was getting disconnected too often. He said he didnt know how to force the card to connect with 10 under linux, so he offered me a new IP ( without paying for it though :) I posted another question on the list asking if I can force the card to connect with 10 speed, Isnt there a way to concet both PCs while them having the 2 IP's ? I really liked the idea coz back then my w2k machine had to get off the net whenever I needed to take my notebook ( the linux machine ) with me to school ( which used to piss off my 4 years old son as he couldnt surf pbskids.org while I wasnt at home :) ) I just need them to be on the same LAN so that i can share the printer and browse both hard drives using samba.
