Hi Daniel
Here is the output that you requested:
glenn(a)acer:/sbin$ sudo ./ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:25:e5:71:ee inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
IT's odd that your linux machine is the .1 IP. Are you *sure* that * you have ICS enabled on your windows machine * your ethernet interface is set to dynamic or roaming mode ?
glenn(a)acer:/sbin$ sudo route -n [sudo] password for glenn: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
The fact that you have no default route won't help anything. This implies to me that ICS is not actually set up correctly, or that you have set it up and then changed some other settings, eg manually configuring IP addresses. Can you please verify that if you have manually configured any IP addresses, you've reverted those changes and gone back to dynamic mode. As a final test - and if this doesn't work, it means you don't have ICS set up, and you'll need to get that sorted, or else find some other solution - run the following commandin a terminal: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.2 This will add a default route via your windows system (192.168.0.2). If ICS is in fact set up, then doing this will direct outbound traffic from your linux system to be sent to your windows ICS system, which will then do the "right thing". To test, again ping 219.88.251.16 or try browsing a website, or whatever If none of this works, you need to go back and check, and check again, that ICS is set up, that you have your network interfaces set to auto configure / roaming / dynamic/ dhcp /whatever other term might get used.
