um... i have the post on this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-soon-693298/ and it says hi all i have a laptop and a desktop pc i would like to connect together using a crossover network cable. at the moment the most i can get is a few spikes of transmission of the network, but thats it. for reasons i cannot release on this forum, only the desktop pc can connect to the internet. what i would like to be able to do is connect to the net from my laptop, through the dekstop pc. is there an easy/working way i can do this (hopefully graphical) where the desktop pc acts as a sort of server for the www. if anyone gets what i mean... anyhow, thanks in advance for any help i receive james waples, 14 ps. i posted in the wrong section sorry admin! |

james ps. quite dumb of me to exclude that info, but it is a linux forum |
Add an extra ethernet card to the desktop machine and use masquerading.
You can find more info using google, on how to establish this. |

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ Is very specifically what you need, however it's definitely not a short quick guide, but for a shorter version... try: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/nat.html A lot of this post on the ubuntu forums is useful and applicable: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111972 In addition there are these sites... http://www.howtoforge.com/ is a good general site for linux tutorials and http://www.debian-administration.org/ is a great resource for debian/ubuntu specific tutorials. A good google search would be for linux, nat, ipmasq in some combination. |
