My network looks like this (I hope my dwg makes sense):
Internet<---<via dial up, internal modem>-----PC1<-----<Ethernet cable>----Linksys Router<-----<wireless>-----PC2
(In words, PC1 is connected to the internet via an internal dial-up modem. It is also connected, via a CAT 5 cable to a Linksys Router. PC2 connects to the network via a wireless Linksys card).
So PC1 is setup up for ICS. Using static IP addresses because if I enable DHCP the server continually picks a domain that doesn't match that of the wireless network!?
PC1 = 192.168.0.1
Router = 192.168.0.10
PC2 = 192.168.0.2
Problems:
1. PC2 can access the shared files and printer on PC1, but PC1 cannot access PC2 (ping or otherwise). PC2 appears in the network neighborhood on PC1, but trying to access it results in an error (stating either invalid persmissions, or path not found). PC2 has been enabled for file and print sharing. 802.1x authentification has been disabled, as well as firewalls. Is there some kind of network sniffer out there that I can install on these PCs to try to determine exactly what is going wrong? I enabled logging, but it doesn't provide the necessary info. Any idea what setting I am missing?
2. PC2 cannot access the internet even though in the network neighborhood it shows the internet gateway to the proper dial up ISP. I can dial up the connection from PC2 (thru PC1) but internet explorer cannot get onto the internet. I have set the internet connection to use the 'broadband connection that is always on" based on info from Microsoft web page.
Thanks,
Carol
