Internet sharing over Wireless connection

[Dave Playfair]

I'm trying to get the following working, but can't seem
to make it work. Is it possible?

Machine running XP has a wireless connection to the
router with Internet access. The XP PC also has a LAN
connection to another PC which does NOT have wireless but
also needs Internet access. I have tried to enable
Internet Sharing on the Wireless interface, but it comes
up with the message "An error occured with Internet
Connection Sharing was being enabled". Internet
connection Sharing cannot be enabled. A LAN connection is
already configured with the IP address that is required
for automatic IP addressing. "

The LAN connection is getting it's IP from DHCP.

Any ideas? Please email me!
Thanks much,
Dave

ICS is trying to give the LAN connection the default address of 192.168.0.1
It appears this is already used, on your wireless connection.
To verify this open a command prompt and type ipconfig

You can't have the same address twice so change the wireless adapters IP
address.
If it is assigned via DHCP you may need to change the routers config so it
doesn't give out this address.

I think the trouble is that the subnets on both interfaces are the same
Lan Subnet 192.168.0.x -- wireless 192.168.0.x
Possibly ICS's router cannot handle that.

I will setup the scenario tonight and see what happens.

Hi Mark,
Any luck setting up this scenario?
Unfortunately this wireless router cannot change the
subnet. It's permanently set to 192.168.0.x although I
can change the interal IP of the router within that
subnet.
Thanks for your help so far. It is much appreciated.
