Re: Sharing Internet connection over firewire (IEEE1394) in Ubuntu 9.10

Great tutorial. I did not even know that I could share the internet connection via Firewire.

I haven't tried it out but it looks alright to me.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding

fails for you because you did not execute it as root. I'm saying this as sysctl is not recommended anymore. It will be removed in the next kernel releases. If the above command fails with sudo, try this:

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding'
