A lot seems to have been progressed with since I last contributed to this 
thread.  Given that WiFi related problems were solved thanks to Todd's good 
help, perhaps Meino should start a thread on setting up a local dhcp server?

However, I would recommend that you set a static route, gateway and IP address 
on your tablet pointing to the PC and on the PC you configure IP Masquerading, 
so that it can NAT connections from the tablet to the Internet.

However, if you must be running a dhcp server, then emerge and configure net-
misc/dhcp on the PC.
