Hi,

It is apparently impossible (out of the box) to get regular PCs 
connected to the edubuntu lan to access internet. it is only possible 
for thin clients.

remarque: as the primary vocation for edubuntu is to be used in schools, 
it is quite domageable not to get out of the box  :
    1. parental control with GUI to modify white/black list
    2. access to internet for regular PCs connected to the server

this makes edubuntu manageable only by IT people.

this could also be consider as a bug if you think about the ubuntu 
moto,  "linux for human beings" ;-)

cheers,


Philippe
