Sindi, 

I succeeded with file sharing between the two machines - with the 
help of your instructions - a few months ago. Now I am trying 
something else. I do not want to look at the files of the gateway 
machine, but go online through it. Or do you want to say that I 
need to run some kind of gateway server on the gateway machine?

I assigned 192.168.1.1 to eth0 for the LAN, 10.0.0.2 is the address 
of the wifi card on eth1 assigned automatically by the dhcp server.

You probably mean your posts from 15 April, which I still have in 
my archive:

May be my mistake was that I thought firewall is something what only 
makes a working connection more secure. Now it seems to me that there 
will not be a connection at all without the firewall. So I will get 
ipchains and try again.

I see. You had already explained the whole thing to me. More than 
once, and very patiently. But I obviously did not understand very 
much of it that time. And I could not get the network cards to run, 
that time, so I could not test these things. 

Thanks a lot, 
Christof
