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. |
