Question
Hiw John,

I want to do a home network with Linux Desktop, Windows XP Laptop and a Wireless router. In this network, i want the Linux Desktop as a Gateway to the internet. I don't want the Laptop directly taking to the internet. Can you assist me on this.

Thanks,
Satish Kolli

Answer
Hi Satish,

I'm sorry my expertise is not with Linux but here are 2 sites that I think you will find very useful with more information, the first explains about using Linux as a gateway:

Have a nice evening,

Expertise

I have 20 years of experience in computer troubleshooting, networking and repairs as well as electronics. I can answer questions concerning Windows Server 2000/2003/2008/2008R2, hardware repair and upgrades as well as questions regarding Windows XP/7. I also have developped a specialty with VMware 3.5 and 4.1 in the last few years. If I don't know it, I can guarantee I will find the answer. I can answer questions regarding Digital Video Editing as I have edited quite a few short films and a feature.

Experience

I have worked both as a Technical Director and Information Technology Manager and I also operated a home-based computer consulting business for many years, which included the installation, update and security of computer systems and Windows servers. I have also drafted many IT Plans and consultation reports for specific recommendations.

My experience ranges from Project Planning to finding different networking solutions for companies. My work has demanded that I keep informed and this has always allowed me to be proactive by keeping up to date with technology; this involves researching and learning on a day to day basis, which I find to be fundamental.

I also co-produced and edited a number of films so I can offer a vast knowledge on the subject.
