I connected two computers as a local network. Computer1 is connected to the
Internet via a broadband connection. I use internet connection sharing. That
works fine. Computer1 has IP address 192.168.0.1 on the local adapter.
Computer2 gets an automatic IP address from the gateway on computer1.
What happens is that computer2 generates an enormous traffic to other
adresses on the 192.168 subnet. These requests propagate to the Internet and
aventually time out.
They do find a server that belongs to my ISP
I can follow the traffic with the traffic log of my firewall (Sygate).
I also notice that the IP address of computer2 changes every few minutes
although the lease is for 7 days. When this happens the MAC address of
computer2 also changes!!!
The connection between the two computers is a USB host link cable from
Digitus.
Maybe I should just get a proper Ethernet connection?
Any other ideas?
