Internet connection sharing
You have: * 1 (one) Nokia N900 * 1 (one) USB cable for the N900 * 1 (one) laptop running Linux * 1 (one) USB 3g dongle with a SIM slot for the laptop * 1 (one) SIM card Your goal: get both the laptop and the N900 online. So far I've achieved partial success: * insert SIM card into the N900 * get online * connect the N900 to the laptop with a USB cable * on the N900 open a root shell and run ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up dnsmasq -i usb0 -a 10.20.10.1 -I lo -z -d -x /var/run/dnsmasq.usb0.pid * on the laptop run ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up echo 'nameserver 10.20.10.1' /etc/resolv.conf So far so good, but without iptables I cannot make the N900 do network address translation. I've also installed openssh-server on the N900 and used ssh -D 1080 r...@10.20.10.1 from the laptop to get a SOCKS5 proxy on localhost, so I can get online from my laptop, but that's a rather inconvenient partial solution. Also, I'd be happier if I could do this without cables (i.e. over wifi or usb). Am I reinventing the bicycle? Are there working solutions?

Am I reinventing the bicycle? Are there working solutions? It seems that http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/index.html wants to be a solution, but it's Internet Sharing is mostly focused on sharing the host's connection to the device, rather than the other way around. The other way around is confusing -- why should I specify how my N900 is connected? Figure it out by looking at the default route! Besides, on Maemo 5 the PC connectivity manager doesn't let me select cellular connection. And then, despite the doc saying Under Share internet connection with option, you can check the interfaces (Usb, Bluetooth and/or Wlan) to share Internet with I see no sign of Share internet connection with. Just give me iptables and I'll be happy.
