I had this problem and i had to set my IP addresses manually on my host
computer IP address 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on my client
computer IP address 192.168.0.2 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and set the
default gateway to 192.168.0.1 (the hosts IP) I done this and then on my
host pc my internet connection showed up on my network connections I then
had to rerun the network setup on my client pc and it worked ok.
Hope this helps.
