Vista - ICS error msg
hey guys, hoping somebody has an idea for this one. i've seen this issue
described pretty much exactly in one other post, but nobody replied to the guy. i have a computer running vista ultimate, connected to LAN/WAN via a wireless connection to a router. the router and wireless adpater are setup to establish an IP using DHCP. i also have an xbox 360 connected to the vista machine via a crossover cable to the onboard network adapter. the 360 and machine can communicate fine. i'm trying to enable ICS so the 360 can use the internet connection, but i get skunked when go into the wireless properties and tick the checkbox to "allow other users to connect" and click OK - the error msg is "An error occurred while internet connection sharing was being enabled." below that is "(null)", likely where an error code should be. i had this working a few weeks ago and just recently tried jumping online via my 360, but despite my best efforts it's a no-go. does anybody know the services required to make ICS work in vista? i did change 2 services recently, altho they were almost certainly not related to any network functions windows uses. any help would be appreciated, thanks! |
