hi,
I'm trying to creat a wireless connection to share internet with another laptop.
I followed the usual step like how i did it on Ubuntu
Creat New Wireless Connection-->
then I setup a connection
Mode: Ad-hoc (No security password, cuz it's for testing)
ipv4 settings: Method: shared to other computers
when I tried to connect to this connection, it does work for only a second. the notify-osd says connection established, then changed into disconnected right after. and the connection does was detected on the other laptop (with vista), but only last about a second.
I have no idea what happed. but it works perfectly on Ubuntu, with the same operations.
also, if I create a connection on vista, it can connect to that connection.
what should I do to make it works as well as how it does in unbuntu?

I've never done something like this before but if it works on ubuntu following the same steps perhaps it's a security setting. Perhaps hosts.allow or hosts.deny. I also think you would need a properly configured dhcp server running on the laptop to provide the ip address. That might actually be the only problem.
Instead of network manager you could try wicd. I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Also firestarter firewall has a share connection option that may do it automatically. Again never tried it myself.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help but I figured I might as well say something as no one else seems to be responding to your question.

Hi
install dnsmasq and everything will be fine
sudo pacman -S dnsmasq
it resides in the "extra" repository

I can't get this to work either. I've tried everything I can think of.
Relevant configuration file:
# DHCP configuration generated by Firestarter
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 128.253.180.2, 132.236.58.250;
option ip-forwarding off;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.110;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
dnsmasq is installed and running.
created ad-hoc network in nm-applet, tried all sorts of different configs in there to no avail.
Has anyone gotten this working in Arch?

As usual, I get this working just after I post.
I stopped the firewall (firestarter) and deleted the network I created in nm-applet.
I created a new ad-hoc network, no password. Let all settings in nm-applet as defaults.
In firestarter's settings, I enabled Internet Connection Sharing, and disabled DHCP on LAN.
I restarted firestarter, and added my client's IP address to accepted inbound connections.
