I need two network adapters to enable internet connection sharing in windows 7?

I want to share my internet connection wireless local network to another PC. But I can't seem to find the sharing tab in the properties of the wireless network connection dialog box... Please someone help me out... Thank you

NO YOU DON'T NEED THAT

HERE'S HOW DO
Here's how:

  1. Log on to the Windows (the one that is connected to the Internet) host computer as administrator
  2. Go to network connections in your control panel by clicking Start > Control Panel > network and Internet > network and sharing Center and then click on "Change adapter settings" in the menu on the left.
  3. Right click on your Internet connection you want to share (for example, Local area connection) and click on properties.
  4. Click the sharing tab.
  5. Check the option "allow the other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection". (Note: for the sharing tab appears, you will need to have two types of network connections: one for your Internet connection and another that client computers can connect, for example, a wireless card.)
  6. Optional: If you want other network users to control or disable the Internet connection, select this option.
  7. You can also optionally allow the other network users to use services running on your network, such as servers of e-mail or web servers, according to the settings option.
  8. After ICS is enabled, you can Set Up an Ad Hoc wireless network or use the new Wi-Fi Direct technology so other devices can connect directly to your host computer to access the Internet.

Tips:

  1. Clients that connect to the host computer must have their network cards placed to obtain their IP address automatically (look in the properties of the network, under TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 adapter, click "Obtain an IP address automatically")
  2. If you create a VPN connection between your host computer and a corporate network, all the computers on your local network would be able to access the corporate network, if you use ICS.
  3. If you share your Internet connection on an ad hoc network, ICS will be disabled if you disconnect from the ad hoc network, creating a new ad-hoc network or close the host computer.

What you'll need

  • a Windows 7 computer with an Internet connection and another network card
  • client computers that are active and capable Internet connection TCP - IP
  • network card for each computer
  • modem for the entire network

  • Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

    Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

    If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

    Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

    Hope that this helped good luck

  • Internet connection sharing: "Bluetooth network connection" does not appear in the list "Home Networking connection."

    Hello.

    With Windows 7, I want to share the network connection Wi - Fi with Bluetooth through PAN (Personal Area Network).

    When there are several connections in addition to Bluetooth after opening "Share" tab, I see these connections in the "Home Networking connection" list, but there is no Bluetooth. Then, when there is no connection in addition to Bluetooth which I can share with, there is no tab "share."

    Equipment: laptop Samsung NB30:

    • Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth 3.0 + HS USB Device with the driver PAN ('Bluetooth device (Personal Area Network)") provided by Samsung: Microsoft, version 6.1.7600.16385, 21.06.2006

    As I assume there should be means to somehow add "Bluetooth Network Connection" to a list of connections that can be internet shared with.

    Also, when I tried to fix this problem manually, other questions are raised:

    • There is really no Thoubleshooting guide for Internet connection sharing in Windows 7? I see this document on the site "Microsoft Support" for Windows 98SE, Windows XP - but not Vista and 7.
    • When I'm stuck to the administration of the system to the GUI, there is good decision to guarantee a target with the CLI. After searching a command line installation Internet connection sharing, I see no guides for this - only something likehttp://forums.devshed.com/windows-help-34/enabling-ics-under-command-line-89499.html . Is there really no way to set up ICS by command line and I'm forced to use complex GUIs?

    So, please help me solve problem BT PAN ICS. But if you reply to other questions, it will also be interesting to read.

  • Internet connection sharing cannot be enabled.

    Greetings. I noticed a lot of posts about a similar situation, but I don't seem to find the answer that works for me. The skinny: using Windows 7. I connected to XBox live through ICS with my laptop. Hotel has wireless and I connected to it. Then, I followed the instructions and my wireless for sharing of the value. From there on, I wired XBox laptop w/ethernet cable and XBox settings manually configured as IP address, subnet, gateway, & DNS address mask. It was working fine the first day. During the next two days, connection was super slow... but it still worked. The problem does not seem to come from the hotel's Wi - Fi connection. It was the laptop for XBox it seemed. So I did some reading more and got more stupid than usual. I tried to 'Bridge' of the LAN and wireless connections to see if I could get better results. I'm not too good sense of course so I didn't know if it would work. There can be no. This is why I removed the two bridge connections and even removed the icon of "Bridge". I tried to go back to the original configuration that has worked and that's when I started getting the "connection sharing Internet can not be activated. A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing"message. So now, when I check the share my wireless, I have that message and it won't share. I'm lost! I tried "ipconfig \all. I tried "netsh winsock reset." Nothing seems to work. I don't know if I'm doing something of out of order which does not allow local network setting. I mean... what must be plugged in the ethernet cable, or even not at all, and when it is, that the parameters of the Xbox is? I even put the XBox failing to see network settings if I could start to this end. If it was not obvious, I'm still able to access the internet wireless and wired. This is something crazy and so far, none of my smart friends have been able to help! Thanks in advance for any of yours. As I said, I'm really not good with this stuff so if you have answers, please show idiot as I am a fool proof. See you soon!  Jim C

  • ICS - Internet connection sharing does not

    I build two computers with Win7 Ultimate and need to share a modem on a wired network connection. I have got the file sharing to work between the two machines and followed all the instructions concerning the ICS, but still not get the no host machine to connect to the Internet. I chose the option on the host computer to allow machines on the network to control the connection, and of course, when I plug the cord of connection linking the two, the host dials upward. However no program on the computer no host can actually communicate.

    You are in the right place.  The host of cable connecting network address IPv4 is not what it should be, which indicates that ICS is not configured correctly.

    While remaining in 'Control network and Internet\Network connections', right click on the connection dial-up, and then click Properties > sharing .  If Internet connection sharing is checked, uncheck it and click OK.  Then go back and put a check mark in this box to re-enable Internet connection sharing.  If a box appears asking you to select a private network connection, select the connection of cable system in the menu.

  • ICS: Internet connection sharing ERROR while allowing IP.

    Hi all

    My "Netgear" router gives the IP Address of the gateway 192.168.0.1 and my laptop is connected via a wireless connection. When I turn on my connection sharing wireless internet connection, windows xp tells me with the message below:

    "When Internet connection sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be on use the 192.168.0.1 IP address." Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, you must set them to obtain their IP addresses automatically.
    "Are you sure you want to enable Internet connection sharing?"

    When I press 'Yes', it gives me an error:

    "An error occurred while Internet connection sharing was being enabled.

    Internet connection sharing cannot be enabled.
    A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing.

    My question is, if we can configure ICS service to activate other windows of the IP ADDRESS is required to apply?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    I'm sorry, but ICS is completely inflexible and does not change its LAN IP address.

    The settings that you found are for something else: allowing unsolicited Internet connection requests to pass through the firewall on the ICS computer to a client computer.

    Change the address LAN IP of the router.  It is easy to do and will solve the problem.

  • Bluetooth network and Internet connection sharing problem

    I am putting in place a network via Bluetooth between two computers later with Toshiba Stack installed and to share the Internet connection with the second computer.

    On the computer of trees I put Internet connection sharing, and for this reason, it automatically assigns addresses TCP/IP for the Bluetooth Personal Area network (192.168.0.1).
    On computer 2, I put everything to get it automatically. Firewall (Kaspersky) disabled.

    When I connect 2 Bluetooth devices, everything looks fine, the 2nd automatically gets the IP address, I can ping both computers and Internet works also on the 2nd computer, for a few seconds! After that, it appears as the 2nd computer is disconnected from the network... what could be the problem?

    In the case of the observer under the System tab, I found information like these:
    2nd comp:
    The system has detected that the network \DEVICE\TCPIP_{E44D18EB-91F5-4 adapter has been connected to the network and launched a normal operation via the network card.

    The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{E44D18EB-... because a master browser was stopped.

    and the 1st model also appears this:
    The system has detected that the network Bluetooth adapter... Area Network - Packet Scheduler Miniport has been disconnected from the network, and the network adapter configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers.

    In your case, I would look at the following Web site:
    http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/redirect.php?page=pages/HOWTO.html
    It lists the following document:
    "Internet on PDA via PAN using Notepad as a gateway."
    In your case, the PDA is another laptop, but the procedure should be very similar.
    I would check the firewall settings later if it still does not work.

    Your router provides firewall protection, so the need is not the same

    all firewall software.

    But my opinion is that you would be a lot safer if you have run a
    router software, and since there is little reason not to, I
    recommend that you do.

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    I agree.

    @OP Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista, 7 and 8 all have active firewall software by default.

    There is no need of any 3rd party firewall.

    Some users like running programs such as ZoneAlarm because it warns him from the processes that use the network, and then there is the possibility to deny/allow it on the spot, or deny/allow forever. There may be slight discomfort in the installation, but once it's for all your programs, and then it really can work in silent mode.

    Microsoft Firewall simply leave everything default, but they can be configured manually to block anything outgoing or incoming.

  • Problem with Vista and XP computers Internet connection sharing.

    I have a host computer running Windows XP service pack 3, with an of Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go modem and a laptop computer with Vista. The host computer is connected to a Microsoft MN - 700 via a CAT5 network cable. The laptop is connected via a wireless connection. I'm sharing the Broadband2Go internet connection by using Internet connection sharing. I enabled sharing on the network, on the host computer connection. But the laptop does not connect to the internet. I can ping the host of the laptop, but cannot ping the laptop computer from the host. I have tried everything I can think of, to get the job of network. He worked, until Thursday. Thursday, there is some automatic updates installed on the host computer. They have been updated for security. I don't know if updates of security would have affected the network or not. All helkp would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Oscar

    It is a facility that is complicated, because the host computer and the MN-700 can act as routers and DHCP servers, making it uncertain given the laptop its TCP/IP configuration.  Here are two ways to make it work:

    • Use the MN-700 as a router: connect the host computer to the "Modem" port of the MN-700.  To do this, interface LAN of the MN - 700 must have an IP address in a different subnet from the 192.168.0.x subnet that uses ICS.  The laptop will be able to ping on the host, but the host will not be able to ping from the laptop.

    or:

    • Use the MN-700 as a point of access only, not as a router: connect to the host computer to one of the MN-700 Ethernet ports and disable the DHCP server integrated of the MN-700.  Both computers should be able to ping each other.
