Hi , I have migrated to linux from windows recently. The distro I am running is FC6 64 bit. I have a desktop running windows and a laptop running FC6. Can I have my desktop's internet traffic , go through my laptop ? Laptop is able to access internet without any issues. Please note that my laptop has only the single wireless NIC enabled(I dont want to enable my wired interface for this case) which it uses to go online.So no case of routing here. In other words , can my laptop , by being a standalone computer that it is , act as a default gateway for my desktop ? I changed my desktop's default default gateway to be my laptop's ip address. If I am confusing you guys , here's a small schematic illustration of my requirement :- Desktop ----------->>Laptop(ip=x.x.x.216) --> Internet ip=x.x.x.78 g/w=laptop ip Laptop's gateway is the default gateway of the network. My take here is that once the desktop's traffic is destined to the internet and hits the laptop's NIC , the laptop will drop it simply because it cannot reroute that packet on its own interface back to the gateway(192.168.128.254). If I am right about this statement , then my question is , how can I tell my laptop to forward the connection or reroute it ? Or is it possible at all ???? Can I make use of ip forwarding here ? -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=185925&topic_id=40992&forum=10#forumpost185925 If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and/or blame aravindan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
