If you don't want to recompile for NAT support, is an old fashioned proxy is good enough?
You should be able to use the package "Privoxy" as a socks5 proxy server to share the connection. By default it only accepts connections on localhost, but modifying the config file should be easy enough. In addition to setting up the DUN from the terminal, you'd have to run the wifi in peer mode or run your laptop's wifi in AP mode. Then you'd have to fiddle with manually configuring the IP addresses and gateways, as well as setup your laptop web browser and other apps to use the proxy server on your N800. --Paul On Feb 11, 2008 2:56 PM, Martin Grimme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There is no NAT support in the standard Nokia kernel.
