Partially because the user interface to make it easier to set up isn't there.

I sometimes find myself in scenarios where I have a wireless connection to the internet that I'd like to share with wired-only devices (no wifi cards in them). How hard would it be to make the "Create new wireless network..." dialog generic like "Share network connection..."? Basically, I would like to be able to share any active internet connection to any other medium, wired or wireless or whatever. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Yes, NM will do all these things. dnsmasq is both a caching DNS server and a lightweight DHCP server. So NM just uses it for both functions. > I have a wired connection that has internet access through a firewall behind > it, yet > nothing I do is making this connection sharing work:) Can you grab logs from /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log for me that show the issue? That will help isolate things. Dan ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Dan, Just to clarify, does nm actually instantiate a dhcp server, and create the subnet etc? I don't have a dhcp server installed, but I do have dnsmasq installed. I have a wired connection that has internet access through a firewall behind it, yet nothing I do is making this connection sharing work:) Thanks! jlc ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Basically, you need an existing connection to the internet. Then you create another "shared" connection that your other computers will access. When you have both of those, then NM will start dnsmasq and everything and NAT the "shared" connection to the main internet connection. If you've already got an internet connection, then just choose "Create new wireless network..." from the menu, type in the details, and it should set that new network up. You can then connect to that adhoc wifi network from other computers, and they will get IP addresses via DHCP from your machine.

Re: Internet connection sharing
Thanks for the reply. Hum... if it does NAT then how can users know about that? But actually, many times I want to share the internet I get via wireless to my wired connection. It acts the same way?
