internet connection sharing between 2 puppylinux computers
Posted: Sun 20 Sep 2009, 16:52
Could anyone answer the following question that should have an obvious answer, but does not?
I am using Puppylinux 3.01.
Here is what I want to do:
Internet <===>Puppy Desktop<==crossover ethernet cable==> Puppy Laptop
In other words, I want to share one internet connection between 2 computers (both running Puppylinux) via ethernet ports.
How do I connect the laptop to the desktop? That is, how do I set up the IP addresses for the laptop-to-desktop connection in the Internet Connection Wizard on the Desktop? Same question for the Laptop? Static IP addresses? What IP addresses should I choose?
Thanks.
