Hi! I got some help at irc setting things up so I thougt I'd share it with you. I'm writing this on Konqueror on my eeepc in a moving train using the GPRS connection of Freerunner. So sharing GPRS from FR to *buntu, here we go:
1) make sure your GPRS on FR works. 2) on fr run opkg install iptables iptables-utils kernel-module-ipt-masquerade kernel-module-iptable-nat 3) create firewall.sh on freerunner, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Tethering#Turning_your_FreeRunner_into_a_Network_Address_Translation_.28NAT.29_gateway 4) on *buntu, configure the GUI network manager to understand FR. I run Kubuntu Karmic Netbook remix with these settings: interface: eth2 ip: 192.168.0.202 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.200 dns: grap an IP address from FR's /etc/resolv.conf when using GPRS (=this is your service provider's dns..) 5) create a script like this on desktop: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.202 sudo echo "nameserver 62.241.198.246" >> /etc/resolv.conf sudo echo "nameserver 62.241.198.245" >> /etc/resolv.conf Change the nameserver ip addresses to the addresses at /etc/resolv.conf on Freerunner Then: a) start GPRS b) connect USB c) run firewall.sh on freerunner d) run the other script on desktop DONE! I don't know why do I have to add the nameservers manually (why KDE doesn't do it..) or how to add the route automatically.. anyway, happy to surf now on laptop w. fr :) r _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
