The difference is simple: Anyone can give advice such as "write yourself
a firewall and routing script" or "try it with webmin" - you can only
hope he has access to those.
You "understood" he has a fully configured network and a server with at
least two Ethernet Cards, able to do the forwarding/NAT. If *any* of
those assumptions is wrong, he may end up with a misconfigured network
and NO internet access. how cool.
so, I personally prefer asking, as this does not hurt or harm in any
way. If you do not see it that way - my bad.
EOD.

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.

If possible, could you just stop this useless commotion ?
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
