||<>|| = Video Overview = ## Three lines of text to describe in a nutshell what this video is all about. Most user-friendly desktop operating systems allow you to set-up Internet sharing from a USB modem to an internal network. Ubuntu (Gnome) currently lacks this feature, so this video will guide the user to configure [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter|Firestarter]] instead. Could involve wireless too, as a bonus. = Target Audience = ## Describe who might be interested in this. If no specific group then "users" is the default. ## * Systems administrators ## * Developers ## * Users * Desktop users migrating from Windows who are already quite competent with networking, but just lack experience. * Desktop users that are experienced in computing, but have little networking knowledge. = Pre-requisites = ## Are there any other tutorial videos that people might benefit from having already seen? * Non yet, but an introduction to networking guide would be useful. = Required Knowledge = ## Specific things they really should already know. * How to set-up an Internet connection (Cable or ADSL modem/router) * How to install packages from the universe repository. * Understand basic networking concepts such as what network interfaces and modems are and how to link Ethernet cables together. = Recommended Knowledge = ## Other stuff that might be useful for them to know but isn't essential. * Difference between hubs, switches and routers. * Network troubleshooting tools e.g. ping * Understand manual IP address assignment and subnetting. * Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS) and Network Address Translation (NAT) = Objectives = ## * Describe this ## * Manage that.. ## * Create the other specific object ## * Delete the object ## * In other ways manipulate the object * Check Internet configuration - must already be present and working. * Configure internal network settings. * Install and set-up Firestarter. ---- CategoryUbuntuTeams
