Ghetto Network - Help please!
Well first off, I'm new here, so Hi!
OK, here's the problem. I have an xbox in my room with my comp. My comp has a wireless card connected to the wifi router downstairs. Basically I need to have my xbox connect to the open ethernet port on my comp and share the connection. I have tried numerous ways and can't quite seem to get this to work - something always goes wrong.
I am using slackware, and I set up IP masquerading already using a tutorial on TLDP.org. Here's is where I get confused and have problems. What IP do I use for the ethernet port on my comp and what IP do I use for the xbox. Do I need to set up a DHCP server? Since my comp's wifi card has an IP of 192.168.0.103 and the router is 192.168.01, can I use a 192.168.0.x address? This and the subnet address confuses me.
Even though I don't really know what I am doing, I get the xbox to connect to my pc, but then it says "DNS server cannot be found." What do I tell it to look for, or do I need a DNS server on my pc too? Any help would be much appreciated. And please don't just say "go buy a wireless adapter." I already know I can do that and I don't have lots of cash to spend when this is free. Thanks.
