Routing Tables

julien_saadeh

Hello,

I have been reading, reading and reading and I never understood how a Routing Table works. But I really need to do something that I will describe here:

I want to connect to the internet from my Mobile phone through my Laptop's Internet connection:

I cannot use ICS because the mobile is connected via a virtual bluetooth modem COM port.

Laptop IP address config is:

IP: 131.122.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 131.122.1.254

Mobile:
IP: 10.0.2.7

Mobile responds to ping requests.

I want a "route" command in order to route the Internet to the mobile phone, please.

Thanks!!!

What is your mobile, what is your OS on your laptop. Do you have a router? Are you directly connected via your laptop through an ethernet modem?

Mobile is an old Nokia 6600
Windows 7 connected to ADSL modem via wireless.

Well I never done something like that, but I guess you'd only have to share your internet connection through the virtual modem you're creating to connect your mobile. And in win7 it should be really easy:

You go to network connection, right click on your internet connection and share it via the virtual connection. I've done things similar but from ethernet to wifi, but it should be the same principle, only the physical layer changed here (wifi, blutooth).

No, I can't do that. The connection that I use for the mobile is called "Incoming Connections" and does not appear in the selection menu of ICS. So I'm looking to do it in some other way.

Use CCproxy, that should work. You can set it up so that the computer will act such as if it was a proxy server. you route the packets from one interface/subnet to another one.

A router X is connected to several networks and receives packets from clients which have configured the address of X as a "gateway", and decides to which network it should be forwarded.
