I have an old laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 (server edition) that I want to connect to the Internet, but it's Wireless card isn't working properly, so on the recommendation by a friend, I tried to connect to my Desktop (Windows XP) through Ethernet, and connect to the Internet through that, but the old guides I can find are for the Desktop edition of Ubuntu (e.g. GUI-based), and I don't know enough about the Terminal to figure it out on my own.
Are there any good guides then, on how to configure Ubuntu to connect like this, strictly through Terminal commands?
samba
and configure it accordingly.
