Hi, maybe I'm stupid or just weird.
I have 2 Dell Laptops with built-in WiFi. The one is connected to Telecom
Mobile Broadband via a USB modem. It works fine. The 2 laptops can share
files neatly. But I cannot get the client to access internet. The Host is set
to ICS on the WiFi link.
Any ideas or is it impossible without a router?.
Yes, it's possible. On the host computer, share the USB modem
connection, and tell it to use the WiFi connection for the home
network. From your description, I think that you've configured the
host to share the wrong connection.
Then, check the TCP/IP configuration on the client's WiFi connection.
It should show:
IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
