Hey all
I bought a Sony Bravia TV which has an ethernet port. As I connect wirelessly to the router downstairs (it is in a hard to reach place), I thought I would try to power the Bravia to the internet via my laptop.
So I connected it with a crossover cable but now I am lost as to how to actually share the internet to the TV
Remember: the laptop is connected to the internet via wifi
I would like to be able to use **NetworkManager **if at all possible. Ive tried switching it to ifup as I read a tutorial how to do what I want here openSUSE ICS: Internet Connection Sharing (Linux IP Masquerading) with Suse or Windows Servers but it disconnects the wireless and then I dont have internet.
Current connection information:
Auto eth0
ip address: 10.42.43.1
broadcast address: 10.42.43.255
subnetmask:255.255.255.0
wlan
ip address:192.168.0.100
broadcast address:192.168.0.255
subnetmask:255.255.255.0
default route: 192.168.0.1
primary dns:192.168.0.1
Ive set the ethernet connection as “shared to other computers” and set my Bravia to
Ip address: 10.42.43.2
Subnet mask: 225.225.225.0
Default Gateway: 10.42.43.1
Primary DNS: 10.42.43.1
Secondary DNS:10.42.43.2
And the Bravia’s Connection Results on screen, reads:
Cable Connection: OK
Local Access: OK
Internet Access: Failed
So I know Im close… I just need to figure out the last and , most important , step really! ( Internet Access: OKIE DOKIE 
Many thanks
