Network between 2 Vista computers
Hi.
I have 2 comouters with Windows Vista Business installed (comp1 and comp2). Comp1 has two ethernet boards: One of them receives Internet (ADSL), and the other should supply Internet to comp2. However, that doesn't happen. I've shared the connection of the ethernet board that links the 2 computers: Comp1 has the static IP 192.168.0.1, and Comp2 has the static IP 192.168.0.2 and as gateway and DNS server the IP from comp1 (192.168.0.1). I have a printer and some folders shared, so the connection is working fine, so WHY doesn't comp2 have Internet? Somebody please, HELP! Thanks

No, my computer does not ping public IPs, and I can't use DHCP because I
don't have a router. Why doesn' t it work just by giving them static IPs, setting the gateway and DNS server to one of the computers, and setting their network as Private in both computers? Windows Vista doesn't even let me set the network as Private, as soon as I reboot it sets them back to public!!! "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: can you ping a public IP?

Assuming you setup ICS, the ICS host is the DHCP server and should assign IP to the client.

I found the answer myself, HERE IT IS for all of you that are trying to
connect 2 VISTA computers and share Internet: Comp1 (connected to modem): Automatically obtain IP and DNS addresses. ALSO, in "Alternative configuration" (the next tab), set the IP to 192.168.0.1 Comp2 (connected to Comp1 through Ethernet): Static IP address=192.168.0.2, Gateway=192.168.0.1, DNS Server=192.168.0.1. In both computers, in the Network and Sharing Center, set the Network as Private, and set the network names to be the same. That's it! "Cb" wrote: Hi.

Sorry for going back to basics, but have you shared the external internet
connection on Comp1? Go to Network & Sharing Center Manage Network Connections, right-click the external connection, and choose Share.... "Cb" a écrit dans le message de ... Hi.

How do you set a network as "Private"? And what is a "Private" network?
