ics not broadcasting dhcp to router wan port
Greeting, I'm having problems setting up a ICS route in win 7 the same procedure worked fine in XP.
I have a dual boot win xp pro, win 7 pro x64 system.
The internet chain consists of a 3g modem (ics) <-> gigbit nic ip (192.168.0.1 in XP) (192.168.137.1 in win7 pro)<-> wan port of a dd-wrt v2.2 firmware linksys54g.
There is a second gigbit nic linked to a switch.
I used this arrangement on XP for quite some time with no issues. Laptops could connect wirelessly through the router to the internet. ICS in XP would assign an IP to the router wan port in the the 192.168.0.xxx range.
In Win 7 this doesn't work the wan port is assigned 0.0.0.0 by ICS.
Booting back into XP and it works fine. This leads me to believe either the ICS dhcp isn't assigning an IP or something in Win 7 is blocking it. I've tried more things than I want to mention. Anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?
Thanks DArt
