Here's my deal.. Since I visit many client locations that
don't have wireless, I'd like to take a USB wireless device,
plug it into a client's PC that has internet access via it's
Eth card, and then get my laptop to connect to the internet THROUGH
this
PC.. AdHoc style... using my laptops wireless... all for
convenience to allow me to be mobile when at non-wireless
firms.
This seems so simple that it may be complex, I'm just not sure?
I can build static routes all day, but last time I
knew in order to forward inbound data through another NIC on a
Windows workstation it required a Reg hack, reboot, etc etc.
Is there a command line or small shell script, such as using netsh etc
to enable forwarding traffic from my USB AdHoc card so I
can get internet access through a few fairly short simple steps
all without changing the workstation into "internet sharing" mode
and screwing up existing IP addresses?
I hope i'm clear.. basically looking for a script or a few
command lines to "enable forwarding", then "forward
data from wireless laptop through desktop PC to internet and back".
Thanks!
