This page controls whether Internet Connection Sharing is to used. Firestarter allows you to configure a single Linux system as the gateway to the internet. All other computers on your network then access the internet through the gateway system. The computers that access the internet through the gateway system will appear to the outside world to have the same IP address as the gateway system. This is essentially a mechanism for sharing a single internet connection amongst a network of multiple computers whilst masking the identity (i.e the IP address) of those computers. Note that this configuration requires that you have two network cards installed in the system - one for the internet connection and another for the local area network.

Check ''Enable Internet Connection Sharing'' if you wish to use this feature. If you would like the system running Firestarter to also allocate IP addresses to the client machines also check the ''Enable DHCP for local network'' box.
