Ok facepunch, I have a wired and wireless connection on my windows 7 computer. The wired connection is connected directly to my ubuntu server and has dns and dhcp software installed on the windows pc. On my wireless connection is the router with internet and the rest of the computers in my house I could do windows Internet Connection Sharing but then my servers Ip would be set to some weird one like 169.blah.blah.blah.
I could do bridged connection which works fine but it makes the servers ip in the 192.168.1 range.
The wired network in my room is in the 192.168.2 range where 192.168.1.1 is the computer connected to the wireless router with internet access.
Anyone know how I could get my server which is 192.168.2.2 to use 192.168.2.1's internet connection?
I have had a look for some Network Address Translation software but all I could find was some paid software called nat32 and some opensource NAT software from 2003 which does not seem to work correctly anymore and I think was only ever meant to be used on wired networks.
on linux there are a few programs called something like ipmasquerade but I can't find anything that is either opensource or free and works on windows 7 anyone got any ideas?
At worse I will just have to move the DHCP and DNS server over to the Ubuntu server and plug the wireless adapter into the server.
The Dhcp works correctly and the dns server gives the computer the right ip address but the ubuntu server does not know of any paths to that ip.
Sorry about the really bad post formatting and any typos but it is like 3 in the morning and have been trying to get this to work for a few hours :/
I think you need to go into the router and re-assign or change the IP addresses....
could you do a simple diagram in MSPaint or something showing the basic layout of what's going on, it's hard for me to understand what you're saying.
such as
Modem->LinuxDHCPServer->Pc or whatever.
Yep I will draw a diagram when I get home in about 7 hours
You have tried setting up share drives and all that jazz, right? I can connect to my private lan without being apart of the domain by just connecting by the computer name (or IP) and the share path.
Like \\MyDumbPC\media$
or \\192.168.2.10\media$
Linux would be smb://192.168.2.10/media$ (IIRC, my samba knowledge is dwindling... fuck you windows).

What I want to do is get the ubuntu server to go through the windows computers wired connection to its wireless then from the wireless to the router then from the router to the internet I know I would have to do something on the windows computer but don't know what or if any software exists that is free or opensource
Get a £3 wifi dongle for the ubuntu machine.
Much simpler.
oh man that's horrible
