Sorry, it was my mistake, the local wifi route IP addres =
192.168.0.1. I guess, the problem may be due to missing some services
in my Debian laptop, should I run the DHCP server on the Debian
laptop?
I actually tried to connect the local wifi route (with same set up
above) to a friend's ADSL modem which also sets the local LAN address
to 192.168.5.1. And, it works fine. It seems that the ADSL modem has
more proper setting than my Debian laptop.
Thank you.
Jim
