I have the same setup at home, but with a dynamic ip of my client computer.The host computer which is connected to the internet is an windows box, which is set up to communicate with other boxes in the house with its built-in internet sharing software. (I don't know exactly how as I didn't set this up, but I can find out more if needed) All I know is the (internal network) IP address of the host computer and and my client computer.I believe I have the Raylink wireless PCMCIA card in the client working under Debian using cardmgr. How do I do the network config part on the Debian client so it can actually communicate with the outside world?
If you use a static IP of your laptop it's even easier.
You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. There you set up your IP, netmask, gateway etc. The gateway IP should be the same as your host computer.
Try 'man interfaces' for more info.
Second, edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your dns servers.
That should be it.
