home network and internet

[Guest]

I have installed a home network. The communication between host (desktop) and
client (laptop) is perfect (shared files) and prints working properly.
Via Desktop I can go to the internet.

The LAN-adapter No1 of desktop (internet connection) is ICS enabled.
Connection (gateway and activity) pops-up on laptop.

However I can not go on the internet via my laptop (client)!
What can be the problem? Via Tools from the Internet browser, internet
options, connections, LAN settings, all boxes are emty except the "use
automatic config. script".

You should not need a configuration script in this scenario. Try clearing
all check boxes in the LAN settings window. If that doesn't work, try
manually configuring TCP/IP on the laptop:

IP address = 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default gateway = 192.168.0.1
DNS = same as LAN adapter No. 1 on desktop - run ipconfig /all on the
desktop to discover this IP address.

Thanks very much!
I entered the DNS, as you wrote and system works perfectly.

Excellent! Please be aware that if your Internet connection automatically
assigns an IP address, the DNS server address for this connection may change
from time to time without notice to you. If you lose Internet access on the
laptop in the future, run ipconfig /all on the desktop again. You may have
to change the DNS entry on the laptop.
