Re: [LUG] Ubuntu Hot Spot

 

The computer connecting, or the computer acting as the Hotspot?

The hotspot, i'd assign a static IP using network preferences (in the
preferences part of the menu)
It works much like the windows tool you know and loathe, just split
into tabs for the interfaces. You'd want to use the wireless tab,
obviously.

As to the connecting PC, you need a DHCP server, here's a guide, its
written for Debian but should still work in Ubuntu.
