5. Making it permanent
 If you restart your computer, you will lose all of these settings. So find the custom startup script for whatever distro you are using (for slackware, open the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local) and add this text to the file:
 
 
Code:
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.1
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
