ICS setup twist |
|
|
I've got ICS working on my 2 computers at home, one is xp pro sp2, the other
is xp home sp2. The pro machine is the ics host with a dial up internet
connection. The xp home machine is the client. I've set the tcp/ip settings
on the client machine to "optain ip address automatically" and this works
fine. Heres the twist I found a tutorial for setting up ICS on the microsoft
website that stats that you can set the client machine's ip address to a
static number as long as its in the range off 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254
But if I set a static ip address within the specified range to the client
computer, then it can no longer connect to the internet. So I was wondering
if there is another setting I'm missing ?

Make all of these settings on the client:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server

Why do you have to bother with these settings? I originally set my ICS client
to get it's IP address automatically and it worked fine, as far as I could
tell.
What's the advantage of these settings? Can anyone tell me? |

In most cases, both static and dynamic (automatic, DHCP) are fine and
work just the same for Internet access.
One exception: If you run a server (e.g. FTP, E-mail, HTTP, game) on a
client computer, you probably need to assign the client a static IP
address to configure port forwarding on the host computer.
