ICS through Wireless

Can anyone please help.

I'm trying to setup 2 pc's sharing a dialup connection.
The desktop is the PC that dials out to the internet and the Laptop is
the one that connects trough the shared internet gateway.
Both PC's are using XP pro. Both Pc's have an onboard Nic.
The desktop has a DLink PCI 108mp wireless card and the laptop is
using a DLink dwl-122 USB dongle.


Here's the problem....
If i connect the 2 pc's with a cross over cable they share the
internet connection perfectly well. But when i disconnect the cable
and try to connect via the wireless connection, the icon for internet
gateway dissappears.

The desktop assumes the standard 192.168.0.1 and i've tryied setting
up the laptop with varous dif ip's address.

Im pulling my hair out at this stage!
Can anyone please please please help. I Kinda need a quick response,
thanks in advance

Peter

I had trouble with ICS trying to do a similar thing, I found
http://smb.sygate.com/products/shn.htm worked, you get 30 days free before
you have to buy.

Read the manual
Follow the wizard
ICS

You probably need to make sure that the wireless cards are running in
ad-hoc mode. At least for the desktop PC - I'm not sure about the
laptop.

I have been successfully been sharing internet access through a
wireless connection using ICS. My setup includes an access point.
Turn DHCP off and plug the ICS source into one of the ports. Works
very well.

Are both wireless cards set to AdHoc mode? ICS will feed the laptop its IP
addressvia DHCP. Be sure the channel is the same on both cards as well as
the SSID (default usually works) and WEP is off. But both cards need to be
set to AdHoc mode to work as you want.

yes, thats not surprising.

ICS is connection-specific, that is to say, you set it up for a particular
network connection.

You have two different ones between the two pcs, one wired with ICS set up
and one wireless without it.

Wirelessly connect the 2 machines, ensure they can see each other properly,
then enable ICS on the wireless connection.

Well thats loads of help thanks!!!!!!!!

no really thanks, never thought of doing that!!!!!!!

You bring up a good point. You need to start ICS with only the
wireless card running. A previous response recommended to make
certain that you can first share files - then you know that the
wireless connection is functioning correctly. Both cards need to be in
ad-hoc mode.

Once you have the two PCs talking using file sharing, the following
steps will prevent ICS from being started on the wrong connection.

1. Disable ICS
2. Disable wired card
3. Enable wireless card
4. Reboot
5. Make certain wireless card works
6. Enable ICS

Hope this works. Please let us know your outcome.
