I formatted and reinstalled Linux this morning, so as to remove the possibility I have accidently changed a file. Here is the result of changing my route table: route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 [169.254.214.162 is the IPv4 address of my windows machine.] glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.42.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ sudo route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.42.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 default 169.254.214. 162 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ Does that look in order?

This is an autoconf IP address. It's assigned when windows doesn't have any other configuration for that network and can't find a DHCP server. You still don't have ICS enabled properly if a 169.254.* address is coming up. Given that your network card isn't Have you followed the appropriate MS KB article for configuring ICS? I don't recall if you're using XP or a later version of windows, but here's aome XP links: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314066 And here's another article: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02july01... They all document the same process, but you may find one more useful than the other. The last one, for example, includes some troubleshooting tips.

The most important thing (which everyone seem to be confused by!) is that you enable the "share this connection" option on the connection want to share (your dialup connection) NOT the connection you want to be sharing it with (Local network) Double check that you understand what I am trying to explain here. You want to have "share this connection" ticked on the DIALUP connection only. You do NOT want to have it ticked on the Local network.

I have checked again that the internet connection sharing is applied to my kiwi online connection and not applied to my local area network connection. Glenn.

OK. Unplug the local network and reboot the windows computer. Then open a command window and do 'ipconfig' -- The local network address should be 192.168.0.1. If it isn't, there is something seriously broken in your windows configuration. On 28 July 2010 01:39, Glenn Morrissey <gmorrissey(a)kol.co.nz> wrote:
