If I'm reading the below correctly you're missing the default route on the linux box. Try $ sudo route add default gw 10.42.0.10 On 27/07/10 03:05, Glenn Morrissey wrote:

The default ICS settings should have given the windows box an IP of 192.168.0.1 (from memory) and the linux box something in the same range eg 192.168.0.2 Did you install a DHCP server on the Linux machine at any time? One way to find out is unplug the Windows box temporarily and run the command "sudo dhclient eth0" in a terminal on Ubuntu. It should time out. If it gets a lease you have another DHCP server running, which is going to totally confuse things. On 27 July 2010 03:05, Glenn Morrissey <gmorrissey(a)kol.co.nz> wrote:

To make things even easier than ICS why don't you use a proxy server? Analog-x proxy is free and very simple. 1. configure fixed IP's on each pc. 2. check that they can ping each other 3. install analog x proxy on your windows pc (with the internet connection) 4. check that your windows pc is connected to the internet. 3. configure your browser on the linux pc to use the proxy on the windows pc.

Yes easier because ICS breaks easily and has no visibility of the configuration. At least with a simple proxy or router arrangement you know what is happening and can troubleshoot faults.

My (very limited) experience with ICS has been nothing but good. It's trivially easy to switch on with no real knowledge of networking required to make it work. It works quite reliably, as long as nobody adds any kind of third-party firewall on the Windows machine without knowing what they're doing. It uses DHCP and NAT so you don't have to do any configuration to add another machine to the network. It's a rare example IMHO of Microsoft doing something reasonably well. If you feel like explaining how to set up static IPs and netmasks and routing and reconfigure the browser to use a proxy, go right ahead. But in my opinion ICS is the easiest answer and I'm pretty sure we're only one rogue DHCP server away from having it working.
Correct, something's still not quite right here, the gateway for your Windows box ought to be something out towards the interweb, not back in to your network. Your linux box definitely isn't going to get out until this bit is sorted. What do you get when you run ipconfig /all on your Windows box? As others have suggested you should be seeing your ethernet connection as 192.168.0.1 being the (non-configurable iirc) value set by ICS, and then your linux box will have default gateway of 192.168.0.1, eth0 will be 192.168.0.2 (or .3 now?) as assigned by ICS, and until you get to this point it ain't gonna go. Triple check you have ICS turned on? And I presume (though that can be unwise so can you confirm) that you are able to generally browse the net from this Windows box? Cheers, Roger
Interesting question: why when I run ifconfig in Windows does the IPv4 default gateway show as my Linux box's IP address??? That's surely not right. And when I have my network plugged in sometimes my mail fails to send, as in cant reach server. I wonder if the windows box is looking at the Linux box as a server. I can't imagine why though.
What ever it is its playing mary hell with my dialup connection.

Triple-check that you chose the 'share this connection' option on the dialup, not the LAN.. The dialup is what you want to be sharing.. windows will then configure everything else appropriately to make it happen.
And I presume (though that can be unwise so can you confirm) that you are able to generally browse the net from this Windows box?
