Sharing internet connection with Desktop

OK. Desktop has a USB ADSL Modem and connects OK to the internet. IP
address of this interface is a dynamic ISP provided one.

I've also installed a PCI wireless card in the desktop, created an ad
hoc peer-to-peer wireless network and given it an IP address of
192.168.0.1.

On the laptop, I'ce got built in wireless and can connect to this ad
hoc wireless LAN (laptop has been given IP of 192.168.0.2).

So, I can ping the desktop from laptop and vice versa no probs...

What settings do I need to be able to share the internet connection on
the desktop? For instance, what does the default gateway, DNs etc need
to be set to on the laptop?

Is there anything else I need to do?

What OS are you running? You can use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to
share the connection. In XP, right click on the ADSL modem in the network
panel, and I believe you can select Share Connection.

The gateway/DNS should be the IP address of the desktop.

If that doesn't work, try using the switching the DSN addresses to the DNS
server addresses provided by your ISP.

I had this problem once, and it was caused because I put in an IP address.
On the TCP/IP properties tick obtain an IP address automatically. Also in My
network places, select properties on wireless connection, advanced tab, tick
allow other network users to connect through this connection. Alternitivly
use set up a home or small office network in network tasks.

Do you have to use DHCP? Or can u use a static IP ?
