Connecting laptops together: Macbook Pro and Lenovo W550s
by G-Raps from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53797)
Hi All,
Recently, I installed a Macbook Pro, early-2011, 15" laptop with Debian Buster 10.3.0. Since the Broadcom BCM4331 wireless card in the Macbook was not working, I decided to link this laptop to a working laptop with wireless networking, a Lenovo W550s. The Lenovo has an Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 card, running Debian 10.3.0 successfully.
How do I bridge the two laptops so I can use the Lenovo networking on the Macbook ? I was in a channel in irc (freenode.net, ##linux) that mentioned doing the following: just ssh -D 1080 to the laptop with internet and use that as a socks proxy on laptop2
How do I set up the Lenovo to have a binding address of 1080 ?
