I currently have one computer (it's called pc08
with Linux Mint 15) that is connected to the internet via WLAN. Now I want to install Arch Linux on another computer (lets call it archiso
).
I only have WLAN, but it seems to be quite difficult install Arch Linux with WLAN only. So I thought I could possibly provide a LAN internet connection like this:
-----------------------
| pc08 |
| has internet by WLAN |
-----------------------
|
|
--------------
| Switch |
-------------
|
-------------------------
| archiso |
| has WLAN, but I cannot|
| connect |
-----------------------
Is it possible to get an internet connection like this?
If it is possible: What do I have to do on both computers?
What I've done so far
I think I have to set up a DHCP server on pc08
while using the provided DHCP server from WLAN.
- I've installed isc-dhcp-server.
- Set
INTERFACES="eth0″
in/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
- It seems as if I have to edit
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
, but I have no idea what are good options.
ifconfig
gives onlylo
andwlp4s0
on thearchiso
machine. Does this mean the network card is broken / a driver is missing?lspci
shows an Ethernet controller. Butifconfig eth0 up
gives "eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device".
