I used your example. The mobile hotspot gave wlan0 on the X200 an address of 192.168.43.206. I can access the Internet from the X200. The Buffalo router serves 192.168.0.xxx. > You want to have an iptables rule on the laptop to do the NAT.

I did a Save and Apply from the LuCI interface on the router. Before that the WAN showed that it was not connected. After changing it to static I clicked the Connect button. It does show as connected, now, but I can't reach the Internet from the other laptop connected to the router. I must have missed something. Any ideas what? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
