Sharing internet connection
Hello all,

Recently took a dive into Unix using Fedora 12 atm. I have cable modem with DHCP and a linksys 8 port router. With windows I was able to simple use the uplink port and plug each computer into the switch and use the internet connection. Having no luck doing the same in Unix. I have 4 boxes which I want to set up an intranet but have internet capability on each box. My main box has 2 ethernet cards. At this point I simply would like to know how to connect my main box to the switch and use the uplink on the switch to obtain internet connect. On a side note I would like to also have a nic card with a decticated ip for the new intranet. Any suggestion or help would greatly appreciated. Thank you

vde_pcapplug

VDE_PCAPPLUG(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   VDE_PCAPPLUG(1)

NAME

       vde_pcapplug - Virtual Distributed Ethernet libpcap cable

SYNOPSIS

       vde_pcapplug [OPTION]... interface

DESCRIPTION

       vde_pcapplug  is  a plug to be connected into a VDE switch.  All the data that is catched by the plug is injected into interface and every-
       thing from that interface is sent in the switch.

OPTIONS

       -p, --port=portnum
	      It is possible to decide which port of the switch to use.  When this option is not specified the switch assigns the first  available
	      unused  port  (if  any).	It is possible to connect several cables in the same switch port: in this way all this cables work concur-
	      rently.  It means that packet can result as duplicate but no ARP table loops are generated.  Is useful when vde is used  for  mobil-
	      ity. Several physical interfaces can be used at a time during handoffs to prevent hichups in connectivity.

       -g, --group=group
	      group  ownership	of the communication socket. For security when more want to share a switch it is better to use a unix group to own
	      the comm sockets so that the network traffic cannot be sniffed.

       -m, --mod=octal-mode
	      octal chmod like permissions for the comm sockets

       -s, --sock=socket
	      specify the UNIX socket to be used by local programs for joining the VDE.  The default value is "/tmp/vde.ctl".

       -d, --daemon
	      start vde_plug2tap as a background process

       -P, --pidfile=pidfile
	      put the process ID of vde_plug2tap in pidfile. Can be used with --daemon to store the PID for future killing.

       -h, --help
	      show a brief help
