Guest Eric.E.Swanson@gmail.com Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Hello, I used to share the connection that I received on my laptop's WiFi to my local lan; this allowed me to get a network connection on my Desktop without installing a wifi card in it. However, I've recently have not had a need for this setup. I disabled ICS by deselecting "Allow users to use this connection..." in the WLAN properites page. I've also removed the static IP from my Local Lan 1. But now I have a Window's Mobile device (Local Lan 2 -- HTC Mogul) that I use as a modem. However, when I use this device, the IP address that the laptop pulls from the Mogul is 192.168.0.*, with a 192.168.0.1 gateway and a Comcast DNS server (the Mobile device is a Sprint PCS modem). It should be pulling a non-local ip. I've checked to make sure that there is nothing static set on the device, but everything is set to use the DHCP service... I think that my Laptop still has ICS enabled, and is hijacking my DHCP request to my sprint connection. Solutions I have tried: De-checking "Allow users to use this connection" Disabling the Windows Firewall/Internet Sharing Service Adding a Static IP and removing it Release/Renewing IP address while the device is connected. Reflashing the Device to a factory default Any ideas? Quote
