hey guys, hows it going.I've got abit of a problem with my internet sharing between my Main PC (XP Pro SP2) and my laptop (Vista Home Basic)I've been trying for the last 3 days to get the laptop onto my home network. After none of my normal...
i am using windows vista home premium. my problem concerns internet connection sharing using the ad-hoc network. i successfully shared my internet connection through wireless network connection and created an ad-hoc network that is secured using a WEP key. One computer detects the network and inputs the WEP key of the network but the problem is that the connecting computer cannot acquire a network address. It is assigned "automatic private address" which is, as far as i know, is not the right ip for the connecting computer. the sharing computer is assignned an ip address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 which is the default setting for most networks.
