Re: Internet connection sharing with Firestarter
My original post was not clear, but I think the last one pretty much sums it up.
My laptop connects to the Internet via a wireless card. I want to share that wireless connection with a desktop PC. When I want to do this I currently just grab my wife's work laptop, connect it wireless and enable ICS on the wireless adapter. I hate the fact I don't know how to do this in Linux and I hate the fact I have to grab her work machine.
Any-who, the wireless router works on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. I don't really care what network the wired card goes to, as long as it will share the connection with the whatever is plugged in to it. I am currently trying to use the 192.168.0.0/24 network, but it doesn't make a difference if it is some other network range appropriate for intranets.
Hopefully the screen shot clears up what I am going for.

| I think you're doing too much, or trying to.
Make the wired ethernet card in 192.168.0.0/24 BUT with no gateway address. Say 192.168.0.10/24.
Enable IP forwarding between adapters. Read your documentation to see how to do this, it's somewhat different in the various distributions.
The desktop and laptop will have to be connected with a crossover cable (NIC to NIC will not work with a straight thru patch cord - unless the adapters can autosense).
Make the desktop also in 192.168.0.0/24, say 192.168.0.20/24 BUT with a gateway: 192.168.0.10.
Try this and let us know. |
