You need to set up your Ubuntu box as a router, do a google search for linux masquerade router <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 3:42 AM, Ralf Mardorf <<a href="mailto:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net">ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi :) there're two things I wish to have: 1. Evolution Evolution 3.2.3 from an Arch Linux install should share everything or at least emails with Evolution 3.2.2 from US 11.10 2. Wi-Fi An iPad 2 should be connected to US 11.10 and the Internet by Wi-fi, while US 11.10 is connected to the Internet by PPPoE. 1. Evolution On Arch Linux I backup by "File > Back up Evolution data...". On US 11.10 I restored from this backup by the restore option of the assistant that's started, when you launch Evolution for the first time. There are those Evolution related paths: ~/.cache/evolution ~/.config/evolution ~/.gconf/apps/evoluton ~/.local/share/evolution ~/.local/share/applications/Evolution >From the ~ dir I run: $ rm -r .local/share/evolution/mail $ ln -s /mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution/mail .local/share/evolution/mail This at least is working at the moment, but I didn't reboot between both installs. I wonder what folders I can share and what folders I can't share, especially if there ever will be much different versions of Evolution installed. 2. Wi-Fi There are two tasks I wish to get working. Sharing data between the iPad and Linux, at least with VirtualBox running iTunes on XP pro. On Arch Linux I already do this wired by USB. And important for now, I wish to share the Internet between US 11.10 and the iPad. The connection between US 11.10 and the Internet was created by running pppoeconf and works without any issues. After running this script ... $ cat adhoc #! /bin/sh # sh ./adhoc # <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc</a> device=wlan0 sudo service network-manager stop sudo ip link set $device down sudo iwconfig $device mode ad-hoc sudo iwconfig $device channel 4 sudo iwconfig $device essid 'oz' sudo iwconfig $device key 1324354657 # sudo dhclient $device sudo ip addr add <a href="http://169.254.34.2/16" target="_blank">169.254.34.2/16</a> dev $device exit 0 ... the iPad recognized a network "oz". I can connect by selecting the name "oz", WEP and for the password I just enter a space, but I don't get access to the Internet. How can I add a password and how do I add a HTTP-Proxy or what ever is needed? I already googled and I still will google myself ;) but any "let me google that for you", resp. any hints are welcome ;).
