[solved] Internet Share

SkyValley · 2008-08-29 21:09:53

I've followed this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share to try to get internet on a second computer, but still only the first computer has access. I know it's not a hardware fault since sharing internet works on windows. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Which of the two methods are you attempting to use? Do you have a router (or switch)?

I don't have a switch, so I'm trying to use the second method.

I've used the second method a lot of times but only between Linux boxes. Which OS have you in each computer?

Can you ping PC1 from PC2 and vice-versa?
Can you ping the router that gives internet to PC1?
Can you ping google?
Check in /etc/rc.conf if you removed "!" from the entry gateway in the line ROUTES. It should be something like

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

Also, can you get the output of "iptables -L -v -t nat" and "iptables -L -v" in the computer that has net?

See if this link helps at all:

I followed this after wanting to set up my desktop to share a net connection with my laptop.

Also, we NEED MORE INFORMATION. Post your topology, what OS each computer is running, etc. We aren't mind readers, you know.

I've sorted it out, turns out I wasn't configuring itables correctly. Thanks anyway everyone.
