Hi Deedra. It sounds as if you want the desktop to be the gateway. How many nics do you have in the box? Bc what you could do is use eth0 for normal network transmission and eth1 as the gateway. To do this you will need iptables configured and don't forget to include the macs of both your desktop and laptop. A good resource would be the iptables howto at linuxdoc.org. Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows!
