Share Ethernet Raspberry Pi

1. Set up interfaces
Your interfaces file could look something like this (we have prepared the eth0 with a static IP of 10.0.0.1 – this is your gateway for all clients).

# sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# ETH0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

# WLAN0 
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
address 192.168.0.160
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
wpa-essid 
wpa-psk 

2. Install your DHCP server

# sudo apt-get install dnsmasq

# sudo vim /etc/dnsmasq.conf

interface=eth0
dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.9,255.255.255.0,24h

This will make dnsmasq listen to only eth0. It also sets the available IP range to 10.0.0.2 – 10.0.0.9, and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Lease time will be set to 24 hours.

3. Enable packet forwarding in sysctl

sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf

Uncomment this line:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

“Reload” the sysctl with

sysctl -p

5. Create a script that runs everytime the ‘Pi comes online

# sudo vim /etc/network/if-up.d/router.sh

Add this (make sure to change INET_ADDRESS to whatever you set for your wlan0 address)

#!/bin/sh
IPT=/sbin/iptables
LOCAL_IFACE=eth0
INET_IFACE=wlan0
INET_ADDRESS=192.168.1.98

# Flush the tables
$IPT -F INPUT
$IPT -F OUTPUT
$IPT -F FORWARD

$IPT -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

# Allow forwarding packets:
$IPT -A FORWARD -p ALL -i $LOCAL_IFACE -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A FORWARD -i $INET_IFACE -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

# Packet masquerading
$IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -j SNAT --to-source $INET_ADDRESS

Make it executable

# chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/router.sh

Apply rules and export a restorable firewall configuration script

source /etc/network/if-up.d/router.sh
iptables-save > /home/pi/router.fw

Make it start on system boot

sudo vim /etc/rc.local

Add this right above the line with “exit 0″

/sbin/iptables-restore < /home/pi/router.fw

When the script has been run it should forward packets between the LAN and Wifi interfaces.

Setting up new XBMC server

sudo apt-get install samba
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install rhino

Add swap file

update-rc.d pyload defaults

when installing subsonic use getdeb repo 

TomTom Maps

Fast Activate is the programme to use
All you need is the maps and then run this
Good map site currently at noeman.org

Openelec customisations

ssh in

cd .config
nano netmount.conf

add

cifs | //xbmclive/thumbnails | /storage/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails

providing that thumbnails are samba shared
add advanced settings for database share

copy stuff over to SD card whilst in computer to transfer addons and settings
