[wplug] how to network two computers

[Scott Bourns]

OS X, or at least 10.2 has an internet connection sharing method, as well,
if that works for you. It reads as though you might be wanting to go
Linux-only.

If this works for you, you can find it in System Preferences: Sharing:
Internet.

I've only used it for Airport connections, but it's also supposed to work
for wired Ethernet.

GL,

Scott
