Hi, I have two computers with Windows XP SP3 that I would like to connect to the internet using one ethernet port in the wall.
Computer A is the only computer that is allowed internet access. It has two onboard ethernet ports, one that is plugged into the ethernet port in the wall, and another that Computer B is connected to. However, Computer A is the only mac address that my landlord has allowed on the router, so Computer B does not get internet access and a yellow triangle always appears in the tray saying limited connection.
I wish to turn Computer A into access point for Computer B and share the internet connection just to create a small network, in a similar way that phones can be tethered.
Also, I was unable to turn on ICS. I received a pop up saying the IP is 198.168.0.x that there is an error and ICS cannot be enabled. I think I would have to persuade my landlord to change the IP to 198.168.1.1 in order to fix this but I know that's not going to happen.
