internet Sharing

[Bongani]

Hi Guys

I am new on ubuntu 7.04 and have my E630 3g card working, thanks for all the help. Now i need my pc at home to access intehrnet through this laptop. Any ideas on how to get this done.

I also tried using the iptables -F command and i seem to be able to ping the Card from my desktop pc but cant connect to internet.
help please

Thanks
Bongani

sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

Best to read Tazz_Tux's Linux FAQ thread in this forum - it is in there.

'Firestarter' (firewall GUI) can setup internet sharing. Maybe you can try that.
