Check the IPV4 box...

i just ticked the IPV4 protocal box and its still not working

 

[DMHolt57]

check that IPV4 is set in properties to 'Obtain IP and DNS Automatically, then add the gateway (router address) in the advanced section. Reboot, then show screenshot of wireless status...

Are you trying to share your internet connection from router to computer from that computer to the other one?

 

[Rush44]

no its a wireless modem in sted of a router

so you have a wireless router or modem connected to 1 computer and would like to share that internet from 1 computer directly to another via Ethernet?

yep that it

IMHO: Quick note bad idea. This always seems to create more problems than it is worth. If you have wireless just add a wireless card to the second computer you will be much happier because it will work better and super simple to setup.

If you don’t have wireless add a hard wire for the second computer to the router to the internet. -WS

I agree wireless to then wires is very unreliable and overall not the best idea, however if thats what you want to do you must go to your start menu type in view network connections. Then you will right click go to properties and the share tab to enable sharing of the connection.
