Hi,
My wife and I live in a two-storey flat, and we have a small home LAN
(100% CentOS 5) with a "classical" configuration:
On the ground floor, there is the telephone jack with the DSL modem
router (192.168.1.254). This modem has a mini-switch with two Ethernet
jacks to it, and the two are used by:
- the server (192.168.1.1), a "black box" running in a cupboard 24/7
- the wireless AP (192.168.1.253)
Then, on the first floor, everything is connected by wireless, and for
the moment, configured statically:
- my desktop PC (192.168.1.2)
- my laptop (192.168.1.3)
- my wife's laptop (192.168.1.4)
I have an older laptop here, a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D, that I'd like to
use as a simple build box. It's physically installed next to my desktop
PC. It doesn't have a wireless card, so I vaguely thought: is it somehow
possible to connect this laptop with an Ethernet cable to my desktop
PC's unused Ethernet card, and then connect it to the internet? In that
case, I wonder if I have to bridge the desktop PC's network interfaces
(wlan0 and eth0). That said, I don't even know if the driver for wlan0
(rt61) allows any bridging. Or maybe simply configure a different
subnet, but then, what would the network configuration look like on the
laptop and on the desktop PC?
Any suggestions for that?
Cheers,
Niki
