IP address of the host computer and and my client computer.
I believe I have the Raylink wireless PCMCIA card in the client working under
Debian using cardmgr.
How do I do the network config part on the Debian client so it can actually
communicate with the outside world?
I have the same setup at home, but with a dynamic ip of my client computer.
If you use a static IP of your laptop it's even easier.
You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. There you set up your IP,
netmask, gateway etc. The gateway IP should be the same as your host computer.
Try 'man interfaces' for more info.
Second, edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your dns servers.
That should be it.
