[ubuntu] Ubuntu Proxy and Windows

[Amadeo]

Hi, everybody. I need your help. Today I was asked by girl to set her Internet. To set her internet I need to set proxy-server on my machine, but I don't know how... There is Ubuntu on my computer, and Windows XP on her... What I should do?

Hi there,

 

I answered your post on your other thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/nix/39551-how-set-socks5.html

[Amadeo]

I am no connecting from her... She is connecting from me... Where I should take own port?

So you want to share your internet with her from your ubuntu to her XP?

[Amadeo]

Yes, it is true

You could try a tutorial such as HOWTO: Internet sharing with Ubuntu (NAT Gateway) - Ubuntu Forums on the Ubuntu Forums but it's important to make sure you back up any files you change just incase it doesn't work.

 

A router / switch would probably be easier...

Could you write me step by step?

[Amadeo]

I have read it, but I don't understand any things. Should I create new connection?

Look at Firestarter, it may work for you.
