The client needs a Default Gateway setting. Are its other settings
right? They should be:
IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
The host's wireless connection should have:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
If either computer doesn't have those settings, ICS isn't set up
properly. In that case, un-share and then re-share the host's
Internet connection.
I unshared and reshared the host internet connection. On the client
IPconfig I get a connection-specific DNS suffix: MShome.net IP and subnet
and gateway is correct. Host wireless connection IP and subnet is also
correct. Where do I see the DNS server? FTP is still working. Http and
Https are still dead. Kind regards.
Configure the client's wireless connection to obtain an IP address and
DNS address automatically. The host will provide them.
To see the client's DNS server address, run "ipconfig" in a command
prompt window (Start > Run > cmd), or right-click the network
connection and click Status > Support > Details.
Open a command prompt window on the client, enter this command, then
reboot and try HTTP/HTTPS again:
netsh winsock reset
If that doesn't fix the problem, run these commands on the client.
Each one should get four replies:
ping 192.168.0.1
ping 72.14.207.99
ping google.com
If those commands succeed, enter these addresses in your web browser.
They should both take you to the Google web page:
http://72.14.207.99
http://google.com
If HTTP/HTTPS still fails, start the computer in "Safe mode with
networking" and try it again. If it works in Safe mode, a program
that runs on startup is causing the problem. Look for a firewall or
other network-related program.
