Hello,
I am struggling with this problem for several days and it seems like I need
help.
I have 3 PCs in my location - 2 desktops and 1 laptop, they all run XP Pro.
One desktop acts as a host and connects to the internet using ADSL
connection. This internet connection is shared to NIC2 using ICS (see bottom
of the post for configuration details), PC2_Client uses it without problems.
I bought a wifi adapters for laptop and host PC recently and connected them
in ad-hoc mode. The computers are visible on the network (PC1_Host can see
PC2_Client via LAN and PC3_Laptop via WiFi).
The problem is I cannot make ICS visible on the laptop. I need a
configuration that lets to share internet connection from PC1_Host to both
PC2 and PC3 on two P2P networks. I have tried
1) Bridging NIC2 and NIC3 on PC1 and using the bridge as a ICS networking
connection (solution from
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/) - it did not work. I
could not use ICS from PC2 nor PC3 anymore.
2) WinRoute 4.5 Lite - no internet on any PCs, including host (I am 99% sure
I configured the software correctly).
Please, help... I have run out of ideas.
The network is configured as follows.
