Pass internet through readynas

Hi,

I have an older Ultra 6 using OS6.

I would like to setup so that I can pass through my internet through the NAS to my PC.

So my setup would be ROUTER -> eth0 in NAS, eth1 in nas -> PC

Is this posssible, so my PC can access the network as if it was connected to the router? and if yes pointers to how to set it up?

note this is a temporary solution until I can do some home modelling and get an extra network cable installed, I know it's not a preffered mode of operation.

I don't think you'll be able to get this to work. I suggest getting an inexpensive gigabit switch instead, and connect both the NAS and the PC to the switch. You should be able to find something suitable for ~ $25 USD.

Generic Linux or here Debian would be easy -> https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections Trouble might be that Netgear is using some network config tools for embedded systems ....

Even easier would it be on QNAP QTS with it's Virtual Switch 8-)

  Hence the question! The readynas OS tends to overwrite configs and/or use the utilities already.
