ipconfig /all on Win7 shows DHCP Enabled: yeson win7 machine: ipconfig/all
is dhcp enabled on lan adapter?
is network card fine on win7 machine (connect it temporary to router and test). Can it browse websites then? has it ip addres 192.168.1.x then?
I can't connect it to the router because the router is upstairs, and my Win7 machine is very very heavy and has a lot of stuff connected to it.
I'm not sure I'm explaining clearly. I have wireless that is connected to the internet and wish to share that internet connection over ethernet cable to my Win7 PC.Just to make it clear, ICS is for sharing a wired connection, wired to wired only, and it requires a secondary Ethernet adaptor to work at all, a wireless connection does not figure into the equation.
Also, I tried connectify, and you need the PRO version to share over ethernet.
I bridged the connections, and the ipconfig results are:On vista pc:
Undo ICS
Bridge the wireless and wired adapters. Select both in Network Center, rightclick and do bridge

Network and Sharing Center on Windows 7 says Unidentified Network and the Sharing Center on Windows Vista is the same except that it says Network Bridge
I'm still eying that 169.254 address
