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.
