[SOLVED] How do I share internet from a wireless access point?
I am a new Arch user. I started using Arch just a few days ago. Need your help to forward traffic to the Wireless access point I created on arch. i am using cable internet (ppp0) which I want to share via a usb wifi adapter running as a WAP. I followed the instructions in this link to enable the AP mode. Afterwards I followed the instructions provided in the Arch Wiki to forward the traffic but because of my inexperience I am still unable to connect to the internet. Here is the output of iptables -nvL :
and iptables -t nat -nvL :Code:Chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 77 31312 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 DROP all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state INVALID 3338 1639K ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 16 960 ACCEPT icmp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 8 state NEW 394 51023 OPEN-UDP udp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW 6 300 OPEN-TCP tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp flags:0x17/0x02 state NEW 394 51023 REJECT udp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 6 300 REJECT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with tcp-reset 32 896 REJECT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-proto-unreachable Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 TCPMSS tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp flags:0x17/0x02 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU 0 0 ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 112 6832 fw-interfaces all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 fw-open all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 REJECT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-unreachable Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 4010 packets, 595K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OPEN-TCP (1 references) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OPEN-UDP (1 references) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain fw-interfaces (1 references) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 112 6832 ACCEPT all -- eth0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain fw-open (1 references) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
