ICS handing IPs under wrong subnet mask

P

paiasoloco

In trying to share internet (DSL) with my Pocket PC through a
Bluetooth wireless adaper, I disabled the dsl modem's DHCP and enabled
ICS on my local area network adapter.

My Bluetooth adapter is correctly getting 192.168.0.1 and
255.255.255.0 as subnet mask. On the other hand, my LAN adapter is
getting a strange ip address (meaning not in the 192.168.0 subnet) and
255.255.0.0 as subnet mask.

I have no control over this as ICS assigns ips automaticaly, or do I?

Once I get this going I guess I still need to get my DSL modem into
this subnet, isn't it. For instance give it a 192.168.0.10.

Thanks All

What IP address are you getting? If it's 169.254.x.y then that means it
cannot find the DCHP server. If its anything else, you have another server
on your network.

Yes! that's the IP I'm getting. But I have a DHCP server in the DSL modem and is correctly assigning ips to my other network adapter, the one actually connecting to the modem.

Could it be that the other adapter is not finding the DHCP server because it is a 'virtual' adapter? (WIDCOMM Bluetooth LAN Server Adapter ver. 1.4.1.1

Thanks
