How to bridge network connections
Hi
I have a LAN connection and a wireless connection. I use the wifi to get internet from my neighbour through his proxy server. It's easy in Windows. How do I bridge those two connections so I can get internet on my onther machine? Regards |
It is a little more comlicated to set up a bridge in linux than it is in Windows (read: you have to get into the terminal a little).
Basically, it boils down to this: 1. Install the bridge-utils package from your distribution. For instance, if you are using Ubuntu or Debian type 'sudo apt-get install bridge-utils' in the terminal or use Synaptic to install it. 2. The command 'brctl' is used to set up and configure the bridge. There is a pretty good explanation of how to set it all up here: http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bridge Good luck. |
Thx, I'll give that a try.
