Public bug reported: I sometimes use my laptop as a DHCP-server for a network without permanent Internet connection.
sudo su iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up /etc/init.d/dhcp*-server restart /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf have also been edited to my choice. Everything works until I close the lid of the routing computer. When I do the Internet connection is interrupted and I need to give the restart-command to the dhcp-server to make it work again. I need to run the dhcp-server with the computer's lid open. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- closing computer's lid interrupt network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586198 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
