I do it very often and you don't need any special software or project. I can't find the link where I read about setting it up. Briefly you set up your lan settings with yast. Select traditional method with ifup - not network manager. You have to enable ip forwarding and masquerading. I have a fixed ip address assigned to the wired connection by my isp. The wireless on the router machine is set with a fixed ip address 192.168.2.1 and the other machines' wireless are also assigned fixed ip addresses. It's detailed here http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16579.html and http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16022.html I had some problems and solved them with the list members help. You can take a look at my mails on the list from 5/22/7 if that may be of help. I looked for "internet connection sharing" on google at that time. I also was able to get windows clients to work on this network. Good luck. Gustav On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 6:27 AM, John Andersen <jsamyth@gmail.com> wrote:
I seem to remember a way to use a laptop as a local wireless router (assuming it has a wired port to hook to the net), but I can't remember the name of the project and have no idea of the viability of this approach.
Any clues?
