Public bug reported:
Hi there, I have a problem with my network at home. I have two PCs, one running
Win XP Pro(let's call it "client") and another running Ubuntu 9.04/Win XP
Pro(let's call it "server"). My cable internet connection is at the server
machine and I share it with the client. I used the network connection tool that
comes with gnome and shared the connection without problems and marked the auto
connect option for this one. I hoped that it would work just like the Windows
version: whenever I start the server using Windows the client can access
internet even if I don't connect to my local account wich does not happen using
Ubuntu. It only works when I login and click at the shared connection.
I know there's a way to do this by changing some text files or by installing
some hardware but I want to know:
1 - if there's a way to do this by the gnome interface or
2 - if I am understanding things wrong and I really have to connect and click
the connection to activate it or
3 - if this is a bug and how to fix it.
Thanks for any help
