Wireless and lan conflict

[Dusanm]

I know it might be a newbie question, but I have the following problem:

I am using two computers , laptop and desktop. Both of them have Win Xp professional version. They form lan with a cable. The desktop computer connects to the Internet with Wi-Fi. I want to use it to connect to the Internet with laptop computer through the desktop. But when I enable lan network on the desktop computer, connection to the Internet immediately stops working. What should I change?

are you setting up ICS? are you using a crossover cable between the desktop and laptop?

 

[Dusanm]

Yes I used a crossover cable and set up ICS. The problem is when both the Wireless and LAN are enabled I cannot access the Internet. It seems that LAN is blocking it somehow.

 

[Hefemeister]

from a command prompt on host computer type:
ipconfig /all
when both are running.
post the ip addresses for both the wireless and wired connection.

lan should be 192.168.0.1
wlan could have a conflict.

so in this situation your desktop (host) does not have internet?

a bit strange you do not have dhcp enabled on the wireless. Did you set this static?

Yes. At the moment when both connections are enabled I can not access the Internet. After I disable LAN internet is available again. For dhcp I did not modify anything.

Did you set the wireless or wired connection to allow other users to use this connection? It should be the wireless (D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless P) connection.

Take a look at this walkthrough replacing "connects to your Cable or ADSL modem" with "D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless P" in step 3.

The wireless connection is shared and all firewalls are turned off.
