LINUX HOWTO MINI INTERNET-CONNECTION-SHARING

I have ADSL ethernet modem, wired/cable, DNS.

www/adsl -> eth0 -> wlan0 -> ath0

Desktop network card eth0
Desktop wireless card wlan0
Laptop wireless card ath0

In Terminal:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -j ACCEPT

(Second iptables command - prevents ratelimit messages)

eth0 IP
ifconfig
192.168.1.2

Desktop
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.2

Check mode ad-hoc
iwconfig

Laptop
iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc
ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.3
route add default gw 192.168.2.2 (IP address wlan0)

Check mode ad-hoc
iwconfig

Desktop:
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

or
