client, I set up the internet service as using another computer's
internet, and the TCP/IP settings were set to automatic. The computer
informed me that it had discovered a new residential gateway called
"Internet Connection." But I can't browse the internet. Also, looking
at the status of the "Internet Connection" from the host, the packets
are small and are not changing. Further, the TCP/IP settings picked by
DNS are 192.168.1.1. And, no, you can't ping the 192.168.0.1. host
from the client. So I'm not sure how the auto settings are supposed to
work.
I manually configured the DNS on the client to be 192.168.0.2. Now the
comptuers could ping each other, and the gateway changed to "Sprint on
Acer Notebook" (the host). The packets were much higher (looked
legit), but I still can't connect to the internet from the client.
What am I doing wrong? Does the wireless need to network cards to be
bridged (one on 192.168.1 .x and the other on 192.168.0.1)?
Is there a way to use a wireless host connected to highspeed dialup
for ICS with a wired/wireless network?
You can do what you want, but it's a little more complicated than the usual ICS setup. ICS will be set up on the dial-up connection. And, yes, you will want to bridge the wired NIC and the wireless NIC in the "wireless host computer." See http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/
Also note the following KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309640/en-us
Create the bridge first, then activate ICS on the dial-up connection.
