Re: [Firestarter-user] internet connection sharing, nat not working

[Brent S. E. Ph.D. <we...@ai...>]

It looks like there is no default route on the laptop.
If I create a default route like:
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 ath0

Then I can get to the internet from the laptop through the gateway.

How do I get the default route to be set up automatically like it is
when I connect to other routers?

Thanks,
Brent
