Internet connection sharing

English Network/Internet
1

Hi all… I’m new to this forum and I’m sorry if I did anything wrong due to the forum rules.

Can anyone help me please with internet connection sharing? I have configured wired connection in KDE Network manager which use an wpa-supplicant with 802.1x authentification. The problem is I’m trying to share this connection to the second ethernet port for my second PC. I’ve tried to set it in a few ways which I’ve found on Google, but nothing worked. Does anyone knows how to share the connection please? THXX 2 ALL.

Hello and welcome here.

Please allways tell the version of openSUSE you are using.

Oh, the most important thing… I’m using OpenSUSE 13.1 KDE

Just set it up in the SuSEfirewall2 file. I can’t look it up for you
right now, but there are comments in the file that should explain it.

This HowTo on Masquerading (Internet Sharing) is a bit old. However, except for minor cosmetic changes in YaST, it
should still be valid:
