Sharing WiFi Internet connectionwith Raspberry Pi throughLAN/Ethernet (HeadlessMode)
After having setup the Raspberry Pi to work in headless mode directly
without installing anything on it as described in this post, we then tinkered
on to share WiFi internet connection with the Raspberry Pi through the
LAN/Ethernet connection which we established in our earlier post.

1. Share PC/Laptops WiFi internet connection with Raspberry Pi through
LAN/Ethernet connected to Raspberry Pi
What you have:
1. Raspberry Pi A+/B/B+/Pi 2 (If youve a Pi Zero, please try and let us knowif this works on a Zero) running the latest Raspbian Wheezy. (Ive not
yet tried it with recently released Raspbian Jessie based off Debian 8. If
youve been successful with this latest release, please post in the
comment and Ill update it here. Thanks.)
2. PC/Laptop with WiFi Internet connection and a Ethernet Jack (LAN
Connector / RJ45)
3. A working SSH connection with Raspberry Pi (direct access, explained
here)
What you dont have:
1. Display Device for the Raspberry Pi (HDMI enabled display unit / Old TV)
2. Direct Internet connection for the Raspberry Pi (LAN or WiFi)
Extra Stuff you need:
1. Standard Network Cable (Cat 5, Standard or Crossover)
2. PutTTY Software (will be used to SSH into the Pi)

Sharing WiFi with Raspberry Pi through LAN Cable
A large part of this post assumes youve read the earlier post on directly
accessing the shell on Raspberry Pi through a Ethernet/LAN connection. In
this post, well go about setting up the Raspberry Pi to access internet
through the Ras-Pis Ethernet/LAN port from a Laptop/PCs shared WiFi
connection.
Steps:
1. Firstly, enable the WiFi adapter of the PC/Laptop and make sure its
connected to a WiFi hotpspot. Open any Internet Browser and confirminternet access by opening any website.

Note:Im using my Android device (Nexus One) configured as a WiFi
hotspot J
2. Now, go to Network and Sharing Center (Network Settings in Win XP)
and then head to the Change Adapter Settingspage. As shown below,
were connected to Wireless Network Connection on Android 4. Do
remember the Local Area Connection to which well eventually share
this connection
3. Now, right click the above Network Properties and then select the
Sharing tab

Settings page and you should now see the Shared info message on the
Wireless Network Connection

6. Now, power up the Raspberry Pi (making sure that the Ras-Pi and the
Laptop/PC are connected to each other through the LAN/Ethernet cable)
and wait a minute or two while the Ras-Pi boots. Now, repeat step 5
(previous one) to make sure Obtain IP Address Automatically is still
checked.
7. Open up command prompt using the hotkey Windows Key + R and then
typing in cmd or simply keying in cmdin the start menu (Win 7)
8. In the command prompt, key in ipconfig and scroll to the top of the infoshown

Note the IPv4 address which is 169.254.39.68 in this example. Please makea note of what you see as this will be required further.
9. Now, power off the Raspberry Pi and plug the Ras-Pis SD card into a
card reader and connect it to the PC. Once the disk opens up, open the

open up the midoribrowser. Verify Internet connectivity on the Ras-Pi
by opening any website.
Note (Edited: 5th Feb, 2015): Midori browser is no longer coming pre-
installed with the latest Raspbian version and has been replaced with
Epiphany Browser. Please use that instead to verify internet
connectivity.
Please let me your feedback or questions through comments.
Thanks

Assalamualaikum, Mr. Anwar.
I tried every step of the procedure. Alhamdulillah, i got it earlier. Once I
upgraded the Raspbian Wheezy to Jessie, everything gone head-wire. I
reformat back the SD to Wheezy, and subsequently, the internet
connectivity unable to achieve. Same as other, Im using Window 7 HP and
be advised, my rpi able to Putty and Xming earlier. Very dire of yourassistance thus Im using rpi 2 for my final year project. And now, the
projects progress from 40% achievement down to 0%. Cant figure out
which step I missed. Duly waiting for your assistance.

First, I would like to thank you for this tutorial. It is great.
I am running Windows 10 on my PC and Debian Jessie on my Raspberry Pi. I
followed all the steps but I wasnt able to ping outside from my LAN. In
fact, when I ping the RPi from the PC it goes well but the other way does not
pass. I unchecked the Ethernet connexion from the Protected networkconnexions window and I was able to ping the PC from the RPi but not the
Internet. So I probably think that the problem is coming from the Windows
10 Firewall.
I would be grateful if you can help me fixing this issue. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Nizar
