I have a laptop connected to wifi. I would like to connect my Raspberry Pi to it with an ethernet cable and have access to internet thanks to the laptop connection.
I have found a lot of partial solutions on the internet, but nothing that worked properly AND survived reboot (I managed twice to get internet access, but after reboot it stopped working and further modifications destroyed the working configuration). Would anyone have any idea of what are the files that need to be set up properly on both side? I work with Ubuntu on my laptop, Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi.
[EDIT]
1) CURRENT SET UP
Laptop side:
/etc/network/interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server Added the line
INTERFACES="eth0"
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.200;
}
RPi side
Nothing has been modified. It is basically Raspbian after going through raspi-config after install but nothing else at all.
2) PROCEDURE
i) Run the following script on the laptop
#!/bin/sh
# bring up the eth0 interface
sudo ifup eth0# start DHCP service
sudo service isc-dhcp-server start# enable forwarding from the ethernet to wireless router
sudo /sbin/iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
ii) Connect the RPi to the laptop thanks to the ethernet cable
iii) Connect to the RPi via ssh (this works perfectly)
3) VARIOUS OUTPUTS
Laptop side
tail /var/log/syslog right after connecting the RPi

Reference to documentation on the matter or explanations would be a plus, as my knowledge of the phenomenons is limited!
