Okay, so I have a mobile connection attached to my main pc (windows 8.1), the address range is 192.168.43.1 - 255 with the gateway being 192.168.43.1 and I want to share this to my Ubuntu server which is sitting in my LAN without an internet connection, my LAN address range is 10.1.1.1 - 255.



I have tried:




  • Windows internet sharing but that wont work as there would be 2 dhcp servers on the LAN (not a good thing)


  • A proxy, but for windows I can't find any software that is actually good, I'm quite new to squid so not very sure how to configure it to what I need it to do.


  • VPN, this is also a nice option but again can't find any decent software for windows that can do it, if my main pc was windows server than it would be a different story.




If I could make the windows pc act as a gateway where the ubuntu server could just set a static IP pointing towards it without any dhcp server running, that would be great. But again I can't find any software to do this either.



Any help is much appreciated.

I actually fixed this a while ago so I'll share my findings.



I haven't done exactly as my question asks but I found by using a Raspberry PI with a USB WiFi card as a router I could share my phone's internet connection to everything on my network.



I used this script: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/23 on my RPI, it can pretty much apply to any Linux distro though.
