Greetings, everyone,

I want to know how can I share my USB tethered internet via ethernet from my Debian server(no DE) to my desktop also running Debian(Trinity desktop) so I could access the internet on it and also keeping the ability to still SSH to the server locally.

You should be able to find detail on this with a web search. I'd start by putting this line in a startup file

Code:

echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipve/ip_forward

Give some fixed IP to your local nic (which is beginning to sound more like a server than your server!) & run a dhcp server on it. You'll have to configure that. Add a fixed default route from your server to your own box, and connect them via dhcp. That might work, or at least give interesting errors
