Hi people,
I'm stuck at home due to the rains and so took up something I had been putting away. Ok here goes:
Hardware:
PC1 is connected to the net via cable modem attached to eth0 w/ IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
PC1 has a SMC wifi card running under ndiswrapper. Shows up as wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.202 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
PC2 has a ProNet wifi card. Atheros chipset. Shows up as ath0 auto ath0 iface ath0 inet static address 192.168.1.203 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
PC2 has no other connectivity.
Both PCs are running Kubuntu Feisty. There is no firewall running on either machine while I am trying this stuff.
Task 1 : to connect both PCs so that they can atleast ping each other. This is what I get. ---------------------------------------------------------------- sharukh@natrum:~$ ping -c5 192.168.1.203 PING 192.168.1.203 (192.168.1.203) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.1.203 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, +5 errors, 100% packet loss, time 4017ms , pipe 3 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Task 2: to be able to connect to the net from PC2 thru PC1's net connection.
regards,
Sharukh.
