Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) setup (part 2)
9. After Internet connection sharing (ICS) was enabled on the host computer, the ICS host
changes its IP address from an APIPA address to this private
IP address 192.168.0.1 as the gateway to the Internet and the ICS client is assigned
another IP address (with the same subnet mask) by the DHCP server in
the ICS host, i.e. 192.168.0.x where x is any decimal number from 1 to 254.
Now, every time the ICS host goes online, the ICS client is
connected to the Internet via the ICS host.
Figure:
Private gateway IP address 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for the ICS host.
Figure:
Private IP address 192.168.0.x (1-254) and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for the ICS client.
If one of your Ethernet adapters still use an
APIPA IP address (i.e.
169.2544.x.y), you are not ready for sharing an Internet connection.
