This means receiving internet access from a wifi and giving (sharing) it away as another wifi.

Finally, you are not required to use terminal command lines at all here. Now let's do it.

In NFS v3, servers are identified by at least their IP address (and perhaps their name; I'm not sure if two different names that map to the same IP will share the same connection). In NFS v4.1+, servers have some sort of intrinsic identity that is visible to clients even if you're talking to them by multiple IP addresses.
