sharing a internet signal through a router is simple with windows but how do i set up with puppy?

im getting the signal from a neighbor which i wish to resend out my eth to my router which is wireless.i have the dhcp turned off on the router i know how to set all that up.also i am getting a good signal wireless.i just dont know how to do the settings to share.or if i have to bridge or download something.

any advice may help thanks.

You need to set network as a bridge

I can only find info for bridging out on wifi....I don't know if you can figure it out from that?

thanks for all that help, i will study up and work with it tomorrow.then i will let you know what i come up with

[buford]

would think this is all i need:

rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.info
rm -f /var/run/*.pid

ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
modprobe bridge
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0

however it just isnt working the bridge comes on.do i need to be putting ip numbers or something where the zeros are? example ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.11up

because all i did was paste those two codes in the terminal as is.and sure the results give me the bridge choice in wizard.but then i click dhcp.all is fine.i plug in my router and loose internet.

btw my dchp on the router is turned off.

That looks cool

I note the importance of NOT using puppy's firewall wizard...that's a common stumbling block with 2 interfaces...

well done!

this is seriously working great.i have their signal coming in strong only to my pc. my pc sending eth signal to routers input port number 1. 3 out ports if needed.but much more importantly wireless net full strength throughout my house.
