Hi guys.
My computer seriously don't want me to set up an ad hoc connection channeling through it.
(I was able to set up other computers as servers before)
So currently I can get the client computer, not just to ping the host, but a full trace of a dns address (that is cmd: tracert www dot google dot com)
On the other hand, I can't get the host computer to ping the client. although both the client and host ip information registers correctly, I get request timed out. (Both computers get the right ip, subnet mask, dns and dhcp server - just like the manuals say it should be done.)
I'm losing my mind over it. I have both firewalls down because I've found out that the host's firewall is blocking the client from trace requests.
...and if it wasn't obvious, the problem is I can't get the client to use the internet.
I'm using ICS on the host, windows xp sp3 on both.
btw I know the (cmd
'netsh bridge show a' trick, but when you use ICS (and not a bridge between the wifi and network connection) that command is useless, just gets you back to prompt.
Thanks for any help 8)
