Can any one help me? I have 2 PCs here at home, I use Ubuntu and my sister uses windows, I want to share the internet connection from ubuntu to the PC running windows.
Though I found a tutorial that taught to share the internet connection, I could not fix the problem Here is what I tried on terminal # sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 # sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE # sudo apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq # sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart # sudo dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq and then again # sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 # sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE Added the line "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" to /etc/sysctl.conf And rebooted. Still I could not share the internet.
