Raw message 

Hello, I am trying to turn a 8 year old computer into a hotspot server and 
it is giving me trouble. On the Lubuntu 14.1 OS, I`ve installed Grace 
Hotspot nightly build,  added the 'iface eth1 inet manual' line to the 
interfaces file and confirmed that the server is having access to the 
Internet (I am using it to write this.) Using an ethernet cable, I've 
linked that server with a laptop for testing purposes, disabled the 
wireless connection to the Internet on the laptop and connected solely to 
the server. It returned an IP address of 10.1.0.3. When I try to browse 
using the laptop in either IE or Mozilla it gives me the 'address not 
found' error. When I type in 10.1.0.1, it gives me the Apache2 Ubuntu 
Default Page instead of the Grase Login page. 

Using a mobile phone, it receives an 10.1.0.2 IP, gets to the login page 
and logs in successfully, but it is not capable of surfing the Internet. 
Looking at the usage I see that no outgoing or ingoing traffic has occurred 
over the hotspot.

I am unsure of how to proceed from here and I am not a Linux or a network 
expert by any means.

Please advise and thanks.
