Fedora Networking :: Share A GPRS Connection?
Apr 25, 2009
I have two Desktops. Both running Fedora 9 and connected to each other with a crossover cable. I have a GPRS connection via a USB bluetooth Dongle. I can connect thru rfcomm on Kppp. Assigned static ip's 192.168.10.1/2 and can ping from one computer to the other. So far so good but now I want to share the internet connection between the two computers and run into a maze of gateways and DNS and iptables and am spinning around with no clues. Some of the things I do not understand are
1. What gateway does one assign when your computer directly connect to the internet through a GPRS and not through a NIC or router??
2. When I try to load the shared NFS folder, why does it say "could not load the location: internal error"?
3. Is there somewhere I could get a step-by step instruction??

Trying to share my internet connection with other computers on my LAN. I've tried doing this with Debian, Ubuntu & Fedora so far...
My Intended Setup is as follows;
The Problem: So far I've not been able to get an internet connection from any computer connected to the HUB. I currenty have Fedora 13 on PC1 but have also tried with both Ubuntu 10.04 & Debian Lenny. I am open to using any Linux based distro on PC1 as long it has a Gnome Desktop. eth0 on PC1 can be Static or Dhcp, but I would prefer to set Static IPs on eth1 & all of the Client PCs
To the best of my knowledge I have enabled ipv4 forwarding in sysctl.conf (& some other changes);
Code:
All changes I made to the Firewall (all other Firewall settings are still at default, no custom rules added yet);
Router is set up to assign dhcp from 192.168.xxx.100 & 192.168.xxx.200
At the moment I have only 1 PC attached to the HUB. It's Ubuntu 10.04 (PC2)
It's details are;
ip 192.168.xxx.103
netmask255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.xxx.101
Thus Far I can't ping 192.168.XXX.103 from PC1 & I can't ping 192.168.XXX.101 from PC2. (unreachable) I have an internet connection on PC1 (of course)

I have two linux laptops. Currently, I'm using both of them at work, side-by-side. Now the problem is, I'm connected to a wireless router, but the wireless only works on one of the laptops. So I'm stuck with one laptop that has no access to the internet. Both machines do, however, have working ethernet nic cards. So, I was wondering if I could use the laptop with the wireless connection to share the internet connection with my other linux machine and access the internet on both of them. Or as an alternative, just use the internet on the machine without wireless and be able to switch back and forth, that would increase my productivity like 30 fold.

I want to configure a Gprs dial up connection through my Nokia N91 to surf internet in openSUSE. I am using openSUSE 11.2 installed as a guest OS in ORACLE VIRTUALBOX (virtual pc) in windows host. I connected my mobile to openSUSE using a data cable and the phone modem is detected. I configured Wvdial.conf file and used Wvdial to connect to the internet. After performing many changes I finally managed to get a successful connection, when still I cannot surf any webpage in the browser.
The only error that I get during wvdial connection is about Namespace (DNS) failed. I am using a AIRTEL (India) gprs internet connection.

I have a little bit of a prediciment with my Mobile Broadband dongle, even though I know I'm in a 3G area (Dongle Supports 3G connection) my internet still loads at the normal GPRS speeds max of 5kb/s. Is there anyway to change the speed of it or do I have to keep with GPRS at the moment?

I am wondering how I can share connection with my IPv6 connection.
I am using slackware and ip6tables so far. But the problem is that IPv6 or ip6tables has no "-t nat", so how could I just simply share Internet with the computers behind the firewall?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10, and I would like to use my computer to share the internet connection from an ethernet port. For example, I would like to set up my computer as a wireless access point so I can create a network that other computers can connect to for internet.

I'm trying to connect two PCs to the Internet (or at least to create a local network) using a crossover cable. My main PC (the one that has two ethernet adapters and is connected to the Internet) runs Windows 7 and my secondary PC runs Ubuntu 10.04.Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Both systems send out packages but don't receive anything. How can I possibly fix this, so that I could use LAN and share the Internet connection between PCs? Does Windows need special software to recognize Ubuntu (or the other way around)?

I have a small wireless network running IPv6 connected though a 802.15.4 usb stick, and a network connection through eth1. I can access the nodes on the wireless network from my computer, but not from any other on the wired LAN. Also the nodes on the wireless cannot see even the address of eth1. I'm guessing i have to forward all packets from the wireless to eth1 in some way, but am unable to find an guides for this with IPv6.

Generally I don't like just asking stuff but just can't crack this one. I got a debian machine. My internet connection is on a 3g usb modem. It connects perfectly. Then I downloaded DHCP 3 and then configured it so I got 172.16.0.0 network address with gateway on 172.16.0.1 (set by DHCP) 172.16.0.1 is also the eth0 address and is assigned as fixed by DHCP. With the modem not connected the other PC connects no prob, gets the default gateway and get assigned an ip by DHCP and there is a proper connection with APACHE serving pages. So it is all grand. Where my prob comes in is that I am not able to get traffic from the modem through to the other PC, and at times the modem would not be used as default connection with eth0 up. Restarting the modem fix this but then also drop the assigned gateway address.They are connected directly via crossover cable. The modem is setup as ppp0 according to ifconfig and then ethernet as eth0 and I tried some masquerading allowing all traffic through but does not seem to do the trick.

From the command shell, how do I get to a network connected drive?I do a "Connect to Server" -> "Windows share" and connect to one of my Windows XP systems. Everything is fine. But how do I get to that drive from the command line prompt so I can do terminal commands or open files programmatically (hmmm is that spelled right?) Thus far, I see no way to do it.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Jaunty Jackalope. I have a good working wireless connection.
My daughter has a lot of iPod tunes stored on an old white chiclet Macintosh, which she needs to download to her iPod. Because the iPod is "corrupt" (meaning it was last connected to Windows!), we need to connect to internet.
Simplest way to do that would SEEM to be to plug an Ethernet cord between the two machines and let her Mac access internet via this Dell.
My experience with ethernet is, either it works out of the box, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, I have no idea how to make the connection work.
What do I have to do on BOTH the Jaunty and OSX sides to make the connection?

I seem to be having quite a big problem with Internet sharing. After doing a clean install of Lucid, I tried to set up a shared connection between my computer and my Roku set-top box. I have noticed that I am only able to set up a connection profile in Network Connections under the Ethernet card with the active Internet connection. That is, whenever I try to set up a connection, I am not given the option of using the second Ethernet card. Thus I can't share the network connection. Can someone PLEASE help me? The IRC has been completely useless.

I want to share my internet connection with my netbook which has a Win 7 starter OS. This is what I did: in Network Connections I set the IPv4 Setting of my network card to shared with other computers, plugged in the network cable into both machines, and now they both see a connection. Win 7 only sees the connection as Unidentified network with "No internet access". What should I do?

I have an internet connection called 'tether0' in ifconfig.I also have a connection eth0 which is connected to a wireless router. I'd like to share the 'tether0' connection with the wireless router, so that wireless clients will access the internet through tether0.The guides I've seen don't seem to apply to my situation.how I should proceed? I'm not very experienced with networking,but understand most of the basic and intermediate terminology.

In the documentation at [URL] it says
Quote:
Note: To clarify the above example here is an example configuration that will work - * 1. You are already connected to the internet using your wireless on port wlan0 * 2. The ethernet port eth0 is connected to the PC that needs to share your internet connection (or you could wire eth0 to a router for multiple machines)
I am trying to do precisely this, with my laptop aready connected to the internet via my HTC Hero on port usb0, and the router needing to share the connection plugged into the laptop's port eth0. Port eth0 is set to "Shared" as the doc describes.
The router in question is an old WiFlyer pocket AP, which has a fixed and unchangeable IP address on its wired port of 192.168.7.77. What happens is that when I plug it into the laptop's eth0, NetworkManager pops up the "eth0 Connected" message...and then "Disconnected"...and then "Connected"...and then "Disconnected"...etc.
I want to be able to share my cellphone's Internet connection through the laptop and out into the WiFlyer so that others can get a wireless connection in a location that has no other form of connectivity.
[Rooting the Hero and making it an AP won't work: it can't run Froyo and it can't broadcast wireless.]

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on several desktops but they are not close to my router. I would like to use a wireless connection to go from my router to my Ubuntu laptop, then a wired connection from my laptop to a desktop. My laptop is WiFi enabled and has an ethernet connection.

After some fiddling around, I have come to the conclusion my current wifi access point hates my other computer's Broadcom chip or the drivers thereof. So, my current idea is as follows. I would like to use my netbook to connect to the wireless network, and then connect my other computer to it through ethernet. My netbook is dual boot XP and Ubuntu (think Ubuntu is a version behind) and I would be fine to set up this sharing in either and just leave it on as a repeater station. My other computer is dual boot XP and Fedora and I would prefer this work to allow me to have network in both. I have a straight-through cable and have verified that my network card supports the automatic crossing over behavior.

Here's my setup: Slackware 13.1 External IFace = eth0 / DHCP (assigned from comcast) Internal IFace = eth1 / 192.168.0.0/24 I've made it connect/authenticate, but I can't get anything to route through it..
[Code]...
Really wanting to try and get this setup to where all computers on my lan are forced through the VPN, i've tried most of all things I've googled, and no real luck.

Hello. I want to use my Debian box as an internet connection for a Win95 laptop. The laptop is old enough that the only port I have available to connect to the internet from is the serial port. I have heard that a serial port redirector will allow it to access the internet through my debian box, but I have no clue how to set one up. Any advice. Thanks

Im posting after reading through a lot of articles explaining the same thing on how to share an internet connection from a computer with two NICs.
I have the following simple setup
When I first followed this guide
I was able to ping between the GW and a client on the LAN but couldn't access the internet from it. So I started to configure different things to get it to work which failed.
Now I can't ping between GW and the LAN. I tried to follow the same guide over again and even flushing the tables but still...
These are my current settings (without any chains).
(this client also has a wireless connection displayed in 'ifconfig')

I have been trying off and on for weeks to share my Internet connection with a Windows XP client (netbook). While I can ping back and forth between the two machines, in the form of a ping test, I can't get to the Internet from the client, no matter what I try.
My Ubuntu 9.10 desktop (host) has two NICs, eth0 and eth1. eth0 connects to the Internet. eth1 goes to the Windows XP client. Regardless of whether I use an Ethernet crossover cable or a standard cable, I can get the two machines to talk to each other, but no further.
Things I already tried:
-Tried setting eth1 to "shared" mode in NetworkManager on the host. I set the Win XP machine to automatically acquire an address & DNS. Didn't work.
-Manually configured the IP settings on both machines, like this:
client:
address 10.0.0.2
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
[Code]....
Despite all of the above, I still cannot share the host's Internet connection with the client. I don't understand where the client's traffic is going, and why I can't share the connection. As far as I know, I am not doing any sort of firewalling or blocking on the host, so there is no obvious reason that the client's traffic simply disappears. I just know that whenever I open a Web browser on the client, all I ever get is error messages.
I have had no issues setting up a shared connection when the host runs Windows XP, so I am pretty sure there is no broken hardware causing the problem. Why can't I share the connection under Ubuntu?
