I've got two notebooks at home. The first one is connected to a cable
internet with following settings : IP 10.5.14.103 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 10.5.0.1 and DNS: 10.5.0.1. This is a local network with
local homesite that provides internet to all users. I tried to use the
wireless network between the laptops to connect the second one to internet
making ICS. The settings of the gateway laptop are as following: IP:
192.168.0.1 and Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 and the second laptop has:
IP:192.168.0.2, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 and
DNS: 192.168.0.1.
With these settings and an open wireless network with disabled WAP I cannot
connect to the internet but only to the local area network and the local
index site.
I can ping all IP including the gateway: 10.5.0.1
The connection between the laptop is perfect.
Would you please give me any advise or direction so I could fix it and
finally connect to the internet.

Thanks in advance

Did you set up Internet Connection Sharing on the laptop that is
connected to your wired network? See
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

If you're not using WinXP, see
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ics/ics.htm

BTW, did you mean that you had disabled "WEP" (encryption)? When you
re-enable encryption use WPA2 or at least WPA. WEP can be easily
cracked in a few minutes using free tools downloadable from the Internet.
