Actually I already fix my computer internet sharing but just needed to share with u all and have some not understand part want to asking all expert friend here.

1) connected 2 PC together and Internet connection sharing (peer to peer)
2) Use USB ADSL Modem
3) Both Windows XP Pro
4) Streamyx 384K line

actually my main pc (connect to internet) I view my LAN connection (TCP/IP) why it will auto set for me the IP address and subnet and gateway blank? and not using DHCP? who can tell me why? thanks

?

OK, good. I thought it was just me.

? ? I'm with you guys ? ?

Could you repeat the question, but this time in English please?

I had to read it three times to *find* questions...it looks like maybe he had problems, but got it operational...now he wants to know why it will auto set the IP address, but the subnet and gateway entries remain blank,and apparently not using DHCP (when he views his LAN connection (TCP/IP)) ...I think this is maybe what he is asking....maybe..

I think he may be using the best English he can -- it sounds like it isn't his native language, so we may have to cut him some slack.

I don't use ICS, and from what I've seen it has a lot of problems. I'd highly recommend getting a proper router/switch with NAT, especially given how cheap they are. Of course you'd probably need a different DSL modem too (one that has an ethernet out, rather than USB).

But, getting back to what we think might be the original question:
I think when you're using ICS the second machine just piggy-backs off the machine that's directly connected -- DHCP isn't involved so it doesn't show up. Obivously there has to be something like NAT going on for the second machine to be able to do things that require an IP address, but that's buried in ICS.

OK, with the translations I get the question now. Do an ipconfig, see what it says the subnet and gateway are.

There are a few things to check here.

Step 1: First of all, can you access the internet with the PC directly connected to the DSL modem? Try to ping a site (start -> run -> "cmd" then type "ping http://www.google.com"). If you're getting packets back this means that you are correctly resolving names and your primary computer has the correct ip address information including subnet, dns servers and router.

Once that's working and ICS is enabled on that computer, go to step two.

Step 2: Now, the second computer must be able to access the first computer. Open up the command window as before (start -> run -> "cmd") and type "ping 192.168.0.1". This should return some results -- if it doesn't, there is a problem! Are the lights on your network card (behind your computer) lighting up? What kind of set up are you using? If you're not using a switch of any kind then you're going to need a crossover cable.

Connectivity working between those hosts? Let's finish this up:

Step 3: Leave the cmd window open from step 2 and type "ping http://www.google.com". If the pings are coming back, you're golden. Use the intarweb at will! If this doesn't work, however, something is definitely wrong. Set your IP address manually following this:

IP address: 192.168.0.2 (2 is symbolic here--if you have more than two increment it)
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

Now, set your DNS servers to match the ones your ICS server uses. If your ISP didn't get you any documentation, go back to your ICS server, open a cmd window and type: "ipconfig /all". The DNS servers should be listed there. Enter those on the client computer.

Now, your access should work. If it doesn't, try following the ICS setup wizard for the server computer and then the network setup wizard for the client computer. Tell it you wish to connect through another computer.

Thanks LJ I got it already because I did not set my main pc (connected with modem) IP 192.168.0.1 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 so that's why my client pc can not point to DHCP server through my main pc. now everything is ok already really thanks
