5 Cups of Ubuntu
I need to share my windows internet connection with my linux computer because I don't have a working GUI on my linux box and can't get updates until I am on the internet. My firewall requires a login but never prompts for a login when I try to ftp or access the internet, so I want to use a ******* PC for my netwqork connection. How can I share my windows internet connection with linux?
I really run Arch
What kind of internet connection DSL, Cable, Dial-up
A cheap router could be a better solution but try this if you dont want to do that
try these instructions form the Windows PC

Ok..That seems like a big pain and I can't get a router because it is not my network. Is there a way to get a list of all the packages I need to get gnome up and running and somehow copy them from an existing linux computer down to a dvd? If I can get a gui up and running, th4en I can use a browser. Once I can browse, the firewall can prompt me for a user and password. Then I can get authenticated to use the internet. In any case, I need to get a list of the needed packages for gnome or kde and burn them to dvd. Where can I find this info?

I'd say you try the AptOnCD utility. It's available in the repo:Originally Posted by winsane
Code:sudo apt-get install aptoncd

Would w3m work fine for that (it's a console browser that doesn't need X11).

My mistake, I misread your first post ("because I don't have a working GUI on my linux box"). Actually aptoncd works in GUI mode.
And that does not support your situation.

1. Just enable internet connection sharing in windows
2. Connect your windows & Ubuntu using a cross over ethernet cable.
3. Assign IP address for windows & Ubuntu in same subnet.
4. Enjoy the internet from your Ubuntu.

Is there a way to transfer the packages that are already installed on one linux PC and send via the crossover cable to the other linux pc?

On the working linux PC clean your apt cache. Then type
, this will download all the stuff you need for your GUI and firefox without actually installing anything. After it is done downloading copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to the linux box that doesn't have internet (it needs to be put into /var/cache/apt/archives).Code:sudo aptitude reinstall -d gnome-core firefox
