Sure, you just need to configure ICS on the laptop.

i have tried many tutorials i have been searching all over the internet but nothing seems to work. when the 2 laptops connect even if i choose the ip i still get 169.254.x.x

Got any other suggestions

Since ICS works for tons of people, you obviously have a specific problem. We'll need some information about the environment to proceed.

Remove the ICS configuration on the laptop and with it connected to the wireless and to the other machine with a cable, please post the following.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands, one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

Note that there is a space before the -n or the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the - or / in the following commands.

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

That looks fine, now enable ICS and post the same IPCONFIG /ALL information.

OK, but, as shown by John, it wasn't enabled at the time of the ipconfig /all.

Be aware that a "feature" of Vista is to disable ICS on every boot if ad-hoc wireless is used.

FPV93 · 07-Jul-2009, 09:21 AM **#11**

yer i connected the ad hoc then checked to see if ICS was on and it was

JohnWill · 07-Jul-2009, 09:38 AM **#12**

If this modem is connecting to a local router, try bridging the connections instead of using ICS, that won't go away when you boot.

**TerryNet** · 07-Jul-2009, 10:55 AM **#13**

Public IP address 124...., so bridging not likely to work.

How about trying the ipconfig /all again with ICS enabled. Note that we will again be looking for "IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No" or "IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes". So, the post will do no good unless it says "Yes."

I just noticed that there is a DNS server specified for the ad-hoc wireless connection. If you have specified that, please remove it, as it could be causing a problem. If you have not specified it, run the following repairs before again enabling ICS and doing the ipconfig /all.

(From a JohnWill post)

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Vista.

Start, Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

JohnWill · 08-Jul-2009, 05:32 PM **#14**

Good point Terry.

i did all those commands..... but still getting
