how to share internet connection in fedora

[Paul Shaffer]

maybe I'm the only one who understood the question.  I thought he stated very simply and straightforward exactly what he needed:
   
  "can u plz explain me how to share internet connection in fedora os"
   
  The answer and pertinent pointers are pretty simple as well.  Sorry you don't get it.

Dear  Paul, the first answer stile "if you don´t really tell us WHAT you need, we cannot provide you any kind of solution" was and is perfectly acceptable. 

If you would like discussing that matter on a personal level (yes, I often consider myself an imbecile and nevertheless managed to be an RHCE and work as a systems manager), please do so with just the specific persons involved - and not the whole mailing list. 

bye

Right, without knowing if he's asking how to plug two computers into a 
switch, use Fedora as a firewall, run multiple virtual machines network 
connected, or any of the other things you could mean by "share internet 
connection in fedora." Instead of asking for clarification so I could 
actually help with his problem I should have pulled an answer out of my 
ass so I look smart?

Well I guess I should have, you sure did.

On TV game shows someone gives an answer and then the contestant has to 
make up a matching question. On a mailing list the question comes first 
and then you have to understand it and provide the matching answer.
