hi,
First of all i should say that i am a beginer in Linux world.
I have two pc running on Fedora core4. I have one pc connected to the net. Now i want to access net from the other pc also. I should also be able to browse one pc from the other.
Should i go for the 'proxy' or the 'ip masq'?
And i dont know to set up both 'proxy' and 'ip masq'.

Any help regarding this will be hugely appreciated.

The best way to wire-up the net is
hsmodem -> router -->sys1
..........................+->sys2

For file/print sharing on Linux, you need SAMBA services on both systems.
You can verify it's running with
ps -ax | egrep smbd​
and that it is at least installed using the RPM -qLa (check the manpage, i forget just now)

A Sample SAMBA config file is uploaded on this site.
 
You want the IP masquerading - a job usually done by a dedicated router, but Linux will do it just fine.
