Ubuntu

I have a laptop running Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
What I want to do is use it to connect to my routers wifi, and then plug my desktop into the laptops ethernet port and be hooked to my routers network without any NAT or ICS.

Desktop>>>>>>Laptop/Wired>>Laptop/Wireless>>>>>Router

I want it to look like it is just another computer on the network, and I dont mind if the laptop is unusable as a client.

A script would be ideal lolz

I'd bridge your WLAN and ethernet adapter into one device using brctl, then use your bridge as your network device instead of eth0 or wlan0 or what have you.

This'd mean disabling automatic configuration for those two devices somehow, and probably installing the bridge utilities. I know how to do this for my distro but not yours unfortunately...

I tried that
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif eth0 wlan0

But my desktop deosnt get an ip from my router.

What am I missing?

You may have to enable IP forwarding:

Code:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Ok,
now do I need to give the bridge an IP?
Static or Dynamic?

I'd configure it statically if possible. An IP on the same subnet as the network you wish to join to.

And the wireless adapter has to be connected to the wireless network, of course. That's not the same thing as the wireless getting an IP, they're separate processes, like the difference between plugging in a cable and running dhcpcd.

Yeah I want to get all devices on the same network in the end here. I will have to make try this out when i get home from work today.
