Internet Connection Sharing - Problem - WinXP SP2
I have two PCs which share a DSL internet connection.
PC1 is configured to share the DSL connection. So its IP is automatically set to 192.168.0.1. PC2 receives its IP automatically. Internet connection settings on PC2 are setup to use a broadband always existing connection. Both PC are connected to a dsl-router which is a HUB also. File sharing works fine and a network connection is established. But internet connection sharing does only work randomly or never respectively. Can anybody help me to make sure that it always works? Both PC run WinXP SP2 RC1 |

Internet Connection Sharing - Problem - WinXP SP2
Your description of your situation is seriously confusing.
A typical setup goes something like this: 1.) a dsl "modem" plugs into a phone line, connecting to the phone company's dsl server 2.) a PC connects, via ethernet (or usb) to the dsl "modem" The PC is assigned a public IP address by the dsl "modem" (Sometimes, with DSL, the PC signs on with a username and password, and is assigned a public IP dynamically.) Here's another typical setup: 1.) a dsl "modem" plugs into a phone line, connecting to the phone company's dsl server 2.) a router connects by ethernet to the dsl "modem", using the router's "WAN" ethernet port. The router is assigned a public IP address by the dsl "modem" 3.) one or more PCs connect, via ethernet to the router, using the router's LAN port(s). (Most home routers have an integrated switch, providing 3 or 4 ethernet LAN ports.) The PC is assigned a private IP address by the router. On the LAN, the router assumes the private gateway address -- e.g. 192.168.0.1 -- and the another address in the range -- e.g. 192.168.0.101 -- is assigned by DHCP on the router, to the PC. Then, there's "internet connection sharing" "Internet Connection Sharing" enables a PC, with two network connections to play the role of router. One connection from the PC goes to the DSL "modem". The DSL "modem" assigns a public IP address to that connection. The other connection goes to the LAN (local area network), usually via a switch or hub. Other PCs on the LAN can get a private IP address from the ICS PC. The LAN connection on the ICS PC has the private IP address 192.168.0.1, and is a gateway in relation to other PCs on the LAN. When you write that "both PC[s] are connected to a dsl-router which is a HUB also" I have a lot of trouble understanding what is going on. As I wrote above, ICS involves two (2) connections on the PC sharing the internet connection. If both PCs are connected to the "dsl-router" hub, forming a LAN, I don't know where the ICS PC's second connection is. Is the "dsl-router" in turn connected to the dsl "modem"? Or, are you calling what I referred to as the DSL "modem" the "dsl-router"? "Sebastian A. Potthoff" wrote in message ... I have two PCs which share a DSL internet connection.
