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.

Our router, the WRVS4400N, has some undocumented counters. My guess is:
eth0 - LAN-side interface
eth1 - WAN-side interface
eth2 - ??? Seems to be a low-rate (under 1kbps) - perhaps related to WiFi?
br0 - bridging interface between LAN and WANShareViewed: 2 Times

Unfortunately, it looks like my SlingBox is not configured properly after all - and Slingbox error codes are practically useless. Fortunately, some of their users are providing support on their forum.
I would say I am most UNIMPRESSED by Slingbox product (esp software) quality. They have made their installation unnecessarily complicated - and their is no way to correct my configuration remotely - I have to physically be on the local network to run the config utility (and their software does NOT run on Windows 2003 server - our I could have done this with remote desktop).
