I just moved to a new apartment and while I will be getting FIOS soon, it won't be here until next month. So one of my neighbors is kindly lending me their wifi. Unfortunately, I have a desktop that I would like to connect as well with no wireless card. How do I connect and configure my desktop Ethernet(win7) to my laptop(debian) such that internet requests are forwarded via the laptop and out the wifi? If this helps, I want to do this: Desktop ethernet -> ethernet -> laptop eth0 -> laptop wifi -> neighbors AP -> Internets I realize I might need a crossover(autosensing nics) to go between desktop and laptop, and assign static addresses to those interfaces. I am more concerned with the necessary steps to configure the computers to route/forward between networks.

I can't really recommend any expert system software. I made an expert system for a class once using VISIO. I thought it was a total waste of time. If you can't troubleshoot something than you have no business repairing it in the first place. If you want to use it for customers, I would advise against this because you will probably just end up confusing them, and wasting more of their time. I recommend troubleshooting what you can over the phone/email/remote assistance and eventually in person if you need to.
