Sharing Connection on WIN7 with Windows XP
Hello.I'm new here so first i want'it to say HI.
Second: i have a problem with sharing my internet connection.
I have windows 7 and i want it to give internet to the other computer with WinXP.
Information:
-we are connected using the SWITCH, because i have another friend with XP , but he is not available right now
- i have 2 eth cards : first have ip from my ISP using DHCP and its like 10.xx... etc and on this card i have ENABLED SHARING, if i will not do that my other card will have ip like this 169...(if i remember right :))
- on the second i have ip 192.168.137.1 that has been auto generated by windows(because ive check ICS on the first card , that with internet)
- computer with XP has IP given by the comp with Win7, for example 192.168.137.123
Everything could be OK , but it isn't. After a while , like 20-30 mins or something, its really random i think, computer with WinXP doesn't have internet anymore. ON my Win7, i need to go to my Net Adapters and UNCHECK ICS , then i click OK , and i CHECK ICS again , and i click ok , and the computer with XP have his internet connection again, but again "for a while". Im really upset , i dont know whats the problem. Setting ICS is almost the same as on WinXP, and it work fine for me for a couple of years, so it should work. Besides when WinXP doesn't have internet, i still could ping internet websites, but only using their IPs like 74.125.45.100(google.com), so i was thinking maybe its something with DNS, but i cant go to google.com even if i put IP directly into the browser, but normally i should open this page by using IP address. But thats not the POINT. Internet is shared for like 20 mins , and then sharing is gone.
