another n00b question, how do i setup the network properly,

i run ipconfig and it tells me this

eth0 : inet addr: 192.168.1.8 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask 255.255.255.0

i cant get it to see my laptop or my laptop to see it.

ive tried iptables --help but there is to much text and it is cut off

I can't help with you network problem since I don't know anything about its topology, but if you run a command with --help and the information flows off the screen, try:

<command> --help | less

or if that doesn't work

<command> --help 2>&1 | less

You want Squid for proxy server, there are alot of howtos on it. Here's the first came out of Google: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/squid.htm

A good option that is a complete distro is Smoothwall - Smoothwall.org. I recently installed it on a lower end PC, I'm blown away at it's options and such :)

If you need help with it, PM me.
