Chuck, our ADSL modem is attached by a cable to the
Ethernet port. The Linksys Wifi apadter is connected to
a USB port. I can access the Internet no sweat from the
host and I enabled ICS on the LAN adapter, not the PPP
adapter (which appears as a dial up connection in Network
Connections for some reason!).
ICF is on the LAN adapter.
The Wifi network appears in the tool bar on noth computer
with an Excellent signal strength.
I will try and send the report in a bit, as I need to log
on remotely...

Hi Chuck! It is Eric from Paris (you might recall

configure Wifi at home after Christmas!).

I am trying to setup a similar network (2 PCs) at our
SOHO.

Hi Eric!

I'm a little unsure what you're trying to do here, and
how your network is
setup. But I'll start with a few guesses.

Please describe the physical setup first. I see the
wireless adapter on the
host, and another on the client. And the PPP adapter
on
the host. I am
guessing it's a peer-to-peer wireless setup?
Yes it is a p2P wireless setup: ADSL comes in through
the
PPP host adapter, via Ethernet (which I guess explains
why
there are THREE adapters on the host).

If peer-to-peer, are you then running ICF on the
host?
But the client is
clearly not getting its settings from the host. So my
guess is they're not
connecting wirelessly.
Yes ICF is running on the host. I show a connection on
both the host and client, ad-hoc automatic WEP-key, but
no
pinging possible.

OK, Eric,

I'm confused. I've never seen a PPP connection result
in internet service
coming in by Ethernet. Maybe the route table will help
explain things.

Please provide the route table for the host.
Start - Run - "route print c:\route.txt" - Open
c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy
and paste into your next post.

Try and explain what the PPP adapter, and the Ethernet
adapter, connect to. If
a cable, what's on the other end of the cable? Is there
a modem somewhere?
Connected to what?

Can you access the internet from the host? Is ICS
enabled between the PPP
adapter and the Linksys wireless adapter?

ICF should be enabled only on the PPP adapter. It will
interfere with file
sharing and pinging if enabled on the adapter connecting
to the client.

Cheers,
Chuck
