Debian laptop and internet connection sharing
I sometimea use my Debian Laptop with a Wi-Fi card to access the Verizon
WiFi spots in Manhattan. My partner (in the ambulance) is finding it
increasingly difficult to find public WAP's.
Would it be possible for him to plug a crossover cable into my RJ45 jack
and share my internet connection while I am connected to a WAP via my
WiFi card?
I attempted to use Google, but could only find HowTo's regarding desktop
machines and standard NIC's. Any pointers to a guide or HowTo would be
appreciated.
I also tried the reverse. Using his Window XP lgged into verizon, I
tried to enable ICS (internet connection sharing), I was able to get an
IP address on the debain laptop, but was not able to surf the web.
Thanks,
Nick
