Problem creating WiFi hotspot from fedora 17.
Can anyone please help me to create adhoc network in fedora as in windows.
Thanx |
Hi,
the authentication is done with the hostapd daemon. If the client has a static IP-adress you will need no DHCP-server. As the DNS-server use the same server as the fedora-computer. Enable ip_forwarding with Code:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Code:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 up Code:
ptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE Then start hostapd (it's a daemon, take a look at the documentation for Fedora). Be sure to have the correct /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf file, but there are several explanations in the internet. Markus |
