Internet Connection Sharing Problem
Hi all,
I have two machinesa desktop running WIndows XP (SP2) and a laptop running Windows Vista (home Premium - sp1) along with openSUSE 11.0
I have enabled the internet connection sharing on the Windows XP machine (desktop) to which the USB cable for my modem is connected. I have assigned the following settings to desktop:
IP = 192.168.0.1
mask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.0
On the laptop, both Vista and SUSE are configured to get the IP (on the ethernet interface) via DHCP.
The problem is that I am unable to share the internet connection on the system. I have tried all the combinations of the settings but it still does not work! It did not work even when the firewalls on both machies were either inactive or absent! Can someone tell me what to do now?
