Hi all. I have two notebook and i want to share internet connection from old notebook(Debian 4.0 etch) to new notebook(ubuntu 8.04).Old notebook will work ad-hoc mode and other notebooks will connect to internet from debian notebook.
I configured debian notebook like below: LAN (eth0) : IP: 192.168.1.3 GW:192.168.1.254 DNS:192.168.1.254 and share internet connection with iptables. Wireless(eth1) : IP:192.168.0.1 GW: dont use , DNS: dont use , Authentication: WEP-128bit HEX , Mode: Ad-hoc , ESSID: debian Enable ipv4_forward and write iptables configuration like below: # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE and wireless information like below: -------------------------------------------- #debian:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"debian" Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.412 GHz Cell: 02:0C:F1:42:EF:EF Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:PASSWORD is HERE(like xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx) Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=60/100 Signal level=-83 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ and ps auxc command like below: --------------------------------------- root 3635 0.0 0.2 2656 1124 ? Ss 18:54 0:00 dhcpd3 ------------------------------------------- dhcpd3 is running. and it works ! but not on ubuntu 8.04 ! it only works vi_sta machine.Vi_sta can connect to internet with wireless and take an ip from debian notebook dhcp server.
