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 [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
