Here's my problem:

I have two desktops running XP Sp3, and one of them is connected to the household internet via a wireless adapter. Since I only have one of these, I enabled internet connection sharing on its computer and ran a jumper to the other computer. I set up the host computer to share its internet connection, and told it to take an IP of 192.168.0.1 on its LAN card.

The other computer was getting the dreaded limited or no connectivity thing, so I told it to use an ip of 192.168.0.2 and use the 192.168.0.1 as its gateway and preferred DNS server. Worked fine for about a day, then stopped. Network was up and file sharing works, but web browsers on the client computer could not establish a connection to the outside. I tried repairing the connection, then restarted and it worked again.

Then today, it's not working again. Most sites I've seen suggest letting the client computer pull its IP from the host computer via DHCP, but when I do that it still says limited connectivity and gives me the automatic 169...etc ip.

I've tried resetting TCP/IP and winsock via those netsh commands I've seen people throw around, but still no luck.

I noticed there are DHCP options in the advanced -> ics -> settings page under my wireless network connection, but playing around with them doesn't seem to do anything. It says DHCP is enabled in any case under tcp/ip properties.

Any other ideas?

Just to clarify, this is your setup right?

Router -> Wireless Card -> Computer 1 -> Computer 1 LAN port -> Computer 2

If so, go to your network connections on computer 1, highlight both connections and look for a bridge option. I don't remember the full procedure but it is pretty straight forward, google it if you have problems. Then on the second computer, go to your IP properties and change them back so they get them automatically. After that, while you are still in the network connections window on computer 2, go to setup a network connection or whatever it is called and choose the option where you go through another computer.

That's all I did when I had a wireless laptop and my wired computer and it worked fine. Post any problems you have.

Yeah, that's my setup.

I tried to bridge the two connections like you said, and the client computer immediately sees the connection (as well as the wireless connection that I bridged), but still cannot connect to the internet. It also can't see the shared files on the host computer.

It gets an ip in the 192 range, i.e. it's assigned by my computer, not the router. I'm assuming this is normal.

hmmm. I think it works the same way as routing a xbox360's internet connection through your computer's internet connection, google that first
