[SOLVED] Use Arch Linux as internet forwarding for wdr router

Hi
I'm trying to flash my wdr3600 with openwrt. Now, the problem is that I want to use my desktop to share my internet to this router.
But, when I'm trying to ping google on this device, I get an 'unknown host' error. I've already set up my default gw correctly. What am I missing?

If you can ping an external IP address then it's a DNS issue.

Sorry, I cannot ping 8.8.8.8
My route -n is

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.10    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

With 192.168.1.10 the ip of my desktop that forwards.

Problem solved!
I had to do

sudo iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -o wlp3s0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.1.1 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

which was removed after a reboot?
