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 (the ICS host), i.e.
192.168.0.x where x is any integer from 2 to 254.
Now, every time the ICS host is connected to the Internet, the ICS client
is automatically
connected 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 (2-254) 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.
