Faves for this Web page
I'm having a bear of a time trying to set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) so that I can have one computer set up to my hotel's wired internet connection, and then share that internet connection via an ad-hoc Wifi connection to a second computer in our hotel room.
ICS is amazingly poorly documented, as well as seeming very difficult to set up a success ad-hoc wifi network.
- My wifi card seems to be using a 169.254.x.x address - but the documentation I've read said to expect it to expose 192.168.0.1.
- My shared WiFi connection does not expose a DHCP server - so clients are not getting an address or Gateway IP address from my machine.And besides this, it's very common for Windows networking to just hang for minutes at a time and not return control to the calling user interface. There's just about no other piece of software I use that sucks as bad as windows networking.
