    My humble -ICS- (XP HOST - 7 CLIENT)


    Well it toke me about a week to find out this solution after googling and reading alot of hours....!!!!

    Using desktop with XP Host
    Laptop 7 Client
    LAN on the desktop (2 cards 1 from router -1 to laptop 7)

    On XP After enabling ICS u don't need to configure any thing but ther is a little notice wich was the key to end this suffer

    Acorrding to microsoft i found that when u enable ICS in XP
    It gives ur seconed adapter a unique IP never changes : 192.168.0.1
    and the Subnet Mask is always : 255.255.255.0

    Well if u enabled ur ICS on XP don't do any thing else
    no need to install any protocols or any thing u only go to ur host wich is Seven here
    and configure the adapters IP ,Gateway ,DNS like this

    U dont have to copy this offcourse but that was my case for example
    but u have to make an IP in the same range provided from ur XP adapter wich connects to Seven

    Know why because i think Auto configuring IP's between Seven and XP is not recomnded here as it makes Conflict in IP's and Seven Never fix it
    In few words:
    Its IP conflict Issue

    To have a little background about IP and networks is a good idea

    so...!
    i hope it helps any body in the same situation and i hope to hear from any body who used XP as a HOST.

    I know its not a wonder but for me it solved alot of things....:)

    It did worked for me too.

    XP Desktop was the HOST with:
    192.168.0.1 as the IP
    255.255.255.0 as mask
    both for the router adapter

    WIN 7 was the CLIENT with:
    192.168.0.2 as IP
    255.255.255.0 as mask
    192.168.0.1 as gateway
    192.168.1.1 as DNS
