cmdshft Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not to my knowledge, no. That's not what it's built to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdb424 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not easily that I can think of. The apple TV was made to take in the ethernet, not put out data. Sorry. Neat idea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Fogge Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Why are you claiming that "you can't do it"? We are talking about simple functionality that exists inside of all network stacks for *every* operating system. While I absolutely admit that I have personally not tried this under an AppleTV, you have a standard network stack that supports all aspects of the OSI model. Just because there are no graphical tools available to make the whole process "pretty" doesn't mean that it isn't possible. One thing that I do know for certain is that the AppleTV's base OS contains IPTables. And here's a guide on how to set up exactly what you are talking about *with* IPTables. http://www.howtoforge.com/internet-connect...rading-on-linux Have a nice day! ~Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
