You have:
* 1 (one) Nokia N900
* 1 (one) USB cable for the N900
* 1 (one) laptop running Linux
* 1 (one) USB 3g dongle with a SIM slot for the laptop
* 1 (one) SIM card
Your goal: get both the laptop and the N900 online.
So far I've achieved partial success:
* insert SIM card into the N900
* get online
* connect the N900 to the laptop with a USB cable
* on the N900 open a root shell and run
ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
dnsmasq -i usb0 -a 10.20.10.1 -I lo -z -d -x /var/run/dnsmasq.usb0.pid
* on the laptop run
ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
echo 'nameserver 10.20.10.1' > /etc/resolv.conf
So far so good, but without iptables I cannot make the N900 do network
address translation. I've also installed openssh-server on the N900 and used
ssh -D 1080 root@xxxxxxxxxx from the laptop to get a SOCKS5 proxy on
localhost, so I can get online from my laptop, but that's a rather
inconvenient partial solution.
Also, I'd be happier if I could do this without cables (i.e. over wifi
or usb).
Am I reinventing the bicycle? Are there working solutions?
