I want my Desktop PC to connect to my Laptop and use it's connection to my router, so that it will have have internet access. Basically, I want my Laptop to act as a Router. for shits & giggles just assume that I don't want to plug my PC directly into my router.

Heres my set up:

Desktop PC: Windows 2000 (and slackware), with a normal LAN card.

Laptop: Slackware, with a wireless PCMCIA card connected to the wireless router, connected to a modem.
eth0 = wireless connection.
eth1 = wired connection (via "ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.0 up")

Currently, I've got my dhcpf.conf file configured, I've got eth1 up, and dhcpd running on eth1. I've got a LAN Cable connecting the PC and the Laptop, which seems kind of silly (I'll probably need a cross-over cable), and windows 2000 on the Desktop PC says the cable is unplugged.

Could I accomplish this by using a Crossover cable, or would I need an a switch or hub?

/etc/dhcpd.conf:

Code:

ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 &#123;
     range 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.255;
         option routers 192.168.1.1;

bump.

this was a thread of mine that wasn't getting any attention so I deleted it and replaced it with another question that I have (I've also changed the title.).
