Since the client PC connects to the 'net via the host PC, then
the host is the DHCP server and the source of the client's IPA.
Set the client PC's DNS server to also be the IPA of the host.

I have no idea why you have two network connections on your
client PC, but that is likely to cause problems. Keep the
connection that goes to your host PC, and remove the other.
