Good day fellow users of Ubuntu,

During the hours I'm spending at my intern company, I have dedicated myself set up a small virtual network to mess around with and thoroughly test. As I aspire to work a real-life one some day and all.

The thing is, I now have installed a copy of Ubuntu 9.10 in a VirtualBox Virtual PC. I'm still clueless about its ultimate purpose but for now I wish to use it a 'main' server.

What I would like to do is the following: Set it up so that every client -- may it be Windows or Linux -- can only connect to internet through this server. And of course, the server must hold the files for my clients PCs.

Is it possible to set something like that up? If so, could someone please provide me information to get me on the road?

I'd really appreciate the help~!

Cheers.

P.S. I have no idea whether this topic is supposed to be here. If not, please tell me. xD
