| 281398 | 2004-10-15 21:21:00 | Ok, I am a little confused . I have two XP machines networked directly to each other, one of which is connected to the internet . I have managed to get Internet Connection Sharing working already a couple of weeks back . I ran the wizard on both machines, the IP addresses of each machine were set in the 192 . 168 . 0 . x and everything was fine . But now however, the second machine only ever gets assigned an IP of 169 . 254 . 155 . xx . I have rerun the wizards, I have manually set the IP's (which allows the two to see each other - but no internet) . My understanding was that once ICS has been defined on the PC connected to the internet, then the DHCP server should dish out IP's in the 192 . 168 . 0 . x range for all the clients . Your help is appreciated . |

| 281399 | 2004-10-15 21:29:00 | Well, as you found out the wizard mucks things up. DONT use the wizard. Enter the ips in MANUALLY. So, the ips dont change. Then they'll work properly. |

| 281400 | 2004-10-15 22:00:00 | Set the IP of the client to 192.168.0.2 for example? I have tried that and got my network connection back - but no internet. I read somewhere that ICS doesn't much like it when you manually set the IP's | jimma (2164) | ||

| 281402 | 2004-10-15 22:40:00 | Nah wherever you read that ICS doesnt like manual ips is wrong . I've done it on 2-3 even 4 PC's networked . No probs at all . On the networked PC's LAN icon/properties . All you have to select use the following ip address, enter 192 . 168 . 02 subnet mask 255 . 255 . 255 . 0, default gateway 192 . 168 . 0 . 1, and preferred ip 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 . Then the networked PC will get on the net . |
