You don't download anything. In the past (Windows XP) the only thing I've needed to do is tick the box that says "share this connection" and it does everything else. If that's not working for you, the most likely problem is that you're using a third party firewall which blocks the DHCP requests or some similar nonsense.

I hate it when people improve things. They just bugger up something that was perfectly good to begin with... Ive loaded a dhcp server onto my windows laptop, and now trying to figure out how to connect via that to my Linux machine. I think i have it right with Linux, I just have to get the dhcp server to allow certain ports to get access to the internet. I love these all night games....

IIRC under windows you just need to turn on Internet connection sharing under the connection properties. Back in the days of Win98 it used to force the use of link local address for the lan but I believe these days you can set your own subnet
You may need to adjust the windows firewall settings too.. it's been a while since I played with it
Under Windows, you simply enable ICS and ann the grimy details are sorted out fir you (LAN interface is given a fixed IP, NAT is enabled, DHCP is enabled with sensible leases)
Under Ubuntu You can install Firestarter and choose to share any existing connection, and the same things will also be automagically set up. That's the easy part. Getting a dialup connection working so you can share it is the hard part. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
How do you enable DCHP in windows? Ive spent ages trying. I downloaded a free DHCP server, and its telling me that another process is using Port 69 (assuming internet connection sharing). It does open up and give 192.168.0.2 (my Linux box) a lease but I cant get the two to play nice.
