Help
I have set up an ad-hoc wireless network between my desktop and my laptop, the network is fine but I can't seem to get the internet connection sharing to work, both are running XP home sp2 and have used the ICS wizard like the help file states but that didn't work so i thought it could have been my fire wall but disabled it on both comps brefly and that didn't help. so i'm up agianst a brick wall at the mo trying to figure out what to do next.

I assume you are configured Modem>desktop> notebook?
When you ran the ICS did you configure the notebook to connect thru a direct cable?

Forgive me for all the ?'s. Did you setup the desktop as direct connect to the internet? You have two NICs in your desktop 1 wired, and 1 wireless?

Not if you are setup for DHCP. If your computers are static IPs, yes you will have the DNS and gateway plugged in manually.

I think I have something.
Go to My Network Places (right click)>Properties>Incoming LAN Connection>Networking>Intrenet Protocol (TCP/IP)>Properties.
Check both Allow caller to access, and Assign Addresses Automatic Using DHCP. hen click OK to exit.

No go into your Incoming Connections settings. Not the adapter.

It has (i think) to do with needing to force wirelss adapator in promiscuity mode as the XP bridge will coennct but wont pass data as standard.
