1273333 2012-05-03 11:34:00 I think you need to change the ips that have 192 . 168 . 137 . in them to 192 . 168 . 1 . x since DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192 . 168 . 137 . 1 <- should be 192 . 168 . 1 . 1 . If this is the router's ip address . Or give them ip addresses, instead of putting them on auto Speedy Gonzales (78)
1273334 2012-05-03 11:43:00 Speedy - read post #30, the quote from Technet - Windows 7 changes the ICS to that I range on purpose.

The laptop, which Has W7 is issuing the address of 192.168.137.X -- Read the reply on MS forums windows_7-networking/windows-7-internet-connection-sharing-issue (answers.microsoft.com) According to that you cant change the address.

The previous suggestion about a PCI card or USB wireless device would be the easiest solution, that way the desktop connection is not depending on the laptop -- What happens if the Laptop dies or has problems = two Computers down :(

You may have to do this

Make sure your router is not doing DHCP, and not in router mode. It should be in WAP or similar mode. Also make sure that it is in same 192.168.137.xxx subnet... I am assuming that the other XP machines are?

Your DNS, DHCP, etc, settings should all be off in router and on the XP machines they should all point to your Windows 7 box with 3G card...

Bridge something

Post #7

i bridged both the connections together, then took the internet connection out of bridge while the local LAN remains bridged. I then disable and reenabled ICS and it finally, for some reason, worked. Lets hope it stays that way. Why did Microsoft make networking harder in windows 7? i got this working under XP in 5 mins.
