The easiest way, if all he needs is web access, is probably to install squid. edit /etc/squid.conf adding acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (or whatever the subnet is that you'll be using) right under the acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 line, and then add http_access allow localnet right *above* the http_access deny all line run /etc/init.d/squid restart and have him put your IP w/ port 3128 as his proxy server. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Using his Window XP lgged into verizon, I tried to enable ICS (internet connection sharing), I was able to get an IP address on the debain laptop, but was not able to surf the web. Probably not the problem, but with this setup using winxp, Did you make sure both laptops have IPs on the same subnet on their shared port. I am guessing the wifi cards gets an address through dhcp. From my experience you should set the local Ethernet (shared one) to 192.168.0.1 and the one on your laptop to 192.168.0.2. Make sure you can ping 192.168.0.1 from your laptop (you may need to turn off the winxp firewall on that port but not sure), and that works make your laptop use the winxp as the router and dns server.

I don't remember the exact settings, will check when I get home, but you need the NAT options in the iptable settings, I don't remember if there is an extra ip-forwarding option (don't think so). You then need to set up a firewall with NAT support (you can use any of the firewall tools to do that). That should be enough, but you may need to also echo 1 into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.
