i just ticked the IPV4 protocal box and its still not working
check that IPV4 is set in properties to 'Obtain IP and DNS Automatically, then add the gateway (router address) in the advanced section. Reboot, then show screenshot of wireless status...
i got my Home group working thanks :) but the internet sharing tab is still not there
Are you trying to share your internet connection from router to computer from that computer to the other one?
no its a wireless modem in sted of a router
so you have a wireless router or modem connected to 1 computer and would like to share that internet from 1 computer directly to another via Ethernet?
IMHO: Quick note bad idea. This always seems to create more problems than it is worth. If you have wireless just add a wireless card to the second computer you will be much happier because it will work better and super simple to setup.
If you don’t have wireless add a hard wire for the second computer to the router to the internet. -WS
