WLAN0 to ETH0 sharing problem

[w2ibc]

OK. so I moved over to fedora I like it. pretty happy with it. but one issue. I cant seem to get WLAN to share to ETH like i could in debian/ubuntu systems.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ea...nectionSharing

dhcp is installed.
ip forward is on
but im hung up on a couple things.

1st. for some reason my eth interface is listed as p3p1 for some odd reason.

anyway now on ubuntu id go in the network/interfaces and set eth0 to static not managed by network manager.

using 10.29.33.1 as this machines static ip and dhcp server should issue between 10.29.33.10-20 however i set my other machine to static as well. 10.29.33.10

WLAN is of course dhcp from the wifi router.

problem I have is I can activate eth0 in NM and it connects i can ping the other machine and the other machine can ping back. ok no problem.

I can d/c eth and connect wlan and get to the net no problem.

when ever i have both active then the problem shows up. both eth and wlan connected and no internet. d/c eth i have internet. connect back eth no internet reconnect wlan no internet.

so something is hanging wilan up when eth is connected.

now in ubuntu/debian you append this to the network interfaces file

pre-up /sbin/iptables-restore /etc/network/iptables

and run these 2 commands in cli

sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE

sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/network/iptables

but since fedora dont use network/interfaces file how do i go about getting that done? and getting this working?


EDIT------------------------

ok i got it working but I noticed this.. im losing the WLAN gateway with both connected

route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 10.29.33.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p3p1

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0

route -n

192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0

am I going to have to do the add gw command each time i reboot?

The 'easy' way to do this is by selecting Use as Hotspot from Network Settings. The only problem with that way is, it no longer allows WPA security (only None or WEP).

well. I get my internet from WIFI and am passing it to ethernet.

I got it all working except for having to do the
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0
on reboot

Try creating a file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-wlan0 with the following:

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 dev wlan0

That should create the proper static route.

this seems to have worked.
