Connection to Internet with Wi-Fi sharing over an ethernet
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2015 7:57 am
Hello Raspberry Piers:
I am new to Raspberry Pi. I am trying to connect my Pi to the internet via my laptop which is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Pi and laptop are connected through SSH connection. However, initial efforts were not successful. Below are my IP configuration and a brief description of What I've done. Any suggestion?
My window laptop Ethernet adapter local area connection IP 169.254.39.6
The IP of the Pi: 169.254.39.9
The following modification to the cmdline.txt was made: I add the IP address ip=169.254.39.9::169.254.39.6 to the end of the file.
This command was supposed to enable the wifi sharing.
The status of Wi-Fi network to which my laptop was connected was shared.
Thanks!
