internet connection Sharing
Hi All
My laptop is running Windows 7 Home premium and is connected to my wireless ADSL router with the ins built wireless card. Now I've shared this connection and the LAN network card has been assigned an IP address of 192.168.137.1 and a subnet of 255.255.255.0 no other IP addresses have been set.
From what I understand I should be able to plug my other computer straight in to the windows 7 computer using a network cable and share the internet connection. But there is a problem with this. When I look in the "network and sharing center" on the windows 7 machine I can see the wireless connection has an internet connection but under the LAN connection it says "No internet connection" and when I do plug in the "client" it doesn’t get an IP assigned so obviously I can't browse the internet on it.
Any advice would be greatly received :)
Oh the other machin is an XP machine
