Hey there all,
I was hoping somebody could help me find a solution to a problem i have encountered.
Yesterday I set up internet connection sharing through my computer to my girlfriends computer, this went smooth and soon we both had internet. This
morning I started up the computers , mine which has internet, connected to it through a 3G usb stick, still has internet, while GFs
doesnt now. So I set about doing it all over again thinking something must be a miss. The last attempt before i gave up went as follows
How I went about this.
Restarted My Computer which has the internet.
Opened up network sharing center *NSC*
Clicked managed network connections
Deleted the connection to the internet,
Opened up internet connection, this promted me to to verify which type of connection this was to be, I selected *home*.
New connection now appears in network connections window.
Right click, select properties on new connection to the internet.
click sharing tab
Checked, allow other users to connect through this connection, box.
Selected wireless connection from drop down menu.
Clicked settings checked FTP server, Secure Web Server, Web server, clicked ok.
Reconnected for the changes to take effect. Connection is now shared.
Checked i can connect to the internet.
Returned to NSC and clicked set up connection or network
Clicked Set up wireless ad hoc, clicked next twice.
Named my network and gave it a password on WPA2-personal
All other settings have not changed, ie, Ip still set to obtain automatically
Currently connected to the internet and waiting for users to connect to the HOC connection
Girlfriends Vista
Connected to new wireless HOC
My Vista
Selected *Home* from the network window which popped up.
GF VIsta
Selected *Home* from the network window which popped up
Checked I can access my files, share etc.
My Vista
Checked I can access my GF files, share etc.
Now shouldnt i be able to connect to the internet through either computer?
On my computer I can but my GF still no, though we can both still share files.
One thing of note, after connection to the HOC we can both see each others computer through NSC *view computers and devices*. Then after
10 mins or so 2 more icons pop up, internet gateway device and media devices, which i can right click, properties but from this point
nothing else can be changed, ie, no settings. This only shows details.
I have spent all day on this, reading forums restarting computers over and over so any help on how to get our connection shared again will be greatly appreciated. Im just confused how with the same steps I got this to work yesterday...I must have missed something.
We both use windows vista home premium. and just windows firewall on both.
