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 765 error code: Internet connection sharing cannot be enabled.

    Well, I get this message every time I try to share my internet through like an Ad - Hoc or anything else at all. "Cannot enable shared access.  Error 765 ICS cannot be enabled.

    Thanks for any help!

    Copied from Richard to Yahoo answers. It worked for me.

    "ICS in Windows assigns always 192.168.0.1 to the network adapter that is used to connect other devices to customer that you want to share the Internet connection. For example, if you have an Ethernet cable from your computer to the Internet (for the modem or router) and a WiFi adapter that will provide a wireless network for other devices to connect to, then the WiFi adapter will be given the address 192.168.0.1.

    However, if any other adapter (or adapters if there are more than two network interfaces on the computer) using the 192.168.0.0 subnet, then sharing does not work correctly because you will have two adapters will try to use the same subnet.

    The most likely cause is that you have a router between your computer and the Internet, and the router is configured to use the 192.168.0.0 subnet. If this is the case, log into the router and change its subnet. For example, if the router is set to 192.168.0.1 as its address, change it to 192.168.1.1. Restart the router and the computer.

    If you had set up a static address on your computer for the Internet connection, you will need to make a change similar to the addresses of the computer (IP address, gateway address, and DNS address). If your computer uses DHCP to obtain its address, then it updates automatically when you restart the computer. »

    Good luck.

    I just changed my routers ranging from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 subnet and sharing works fine now.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Internet connection sharing everything just works. Problem really very annoying. Help.

    I have an Internet connection sharing situation. It worked perfectly until I got a little virus. Then, with the CORRECT settings, when I try to turn it on in Vista "allow the other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection", I get an error message stating "unable to enable shared access. Error 0 x 80004005: unspecified error. "I checked and overchecked. The settings are OK, it's just my computer that has the problem, the other OS I installed (Windows 7) he shares perfectly. It is not material, it's just because of VISTA. What can I do? I searched on the Internet for 5 days and nothing. People seem to encounter this problem, but no answers, or nobody gives one any solution. Can I reinstall just the ICS service? Is this possible? To correct it, a key "reg", a patch, no matter WHAT? It is really really important. I removed all viruses from my computer. Internet works fine on my computer. What can I do? Please, please help me... Please, I beg you.

  • Internet connection sharing does not work anymore

    I have used Windows Vista Home Premium for 2 years now on my laptop. Internet connection sharing enabled to connect to the internet via my wireless adapter and allowed me to share my internet connection through the ethernet port. He worked for more than a year. All of a sudden 4 months ago Windows Vista doesn't let me share the internet connection more. When I go to networking and sharing Center, click on "Manage network connections" and it shows that my "Wireless Network Connection" is always set to share. So after reading several forums, I clicked on wireless network connections and click right properties. Then I clicked on the sharing tab, to make sure that "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" has been verified and that it is. After that, Windows Vista will not always share the internet. Someone suggested that I double check the IP version 4 and 6 on the wireless and Ethernet connection were defined on IP addresses obtain automatically, and they are. The computer still will not share the internet connection! I even took the manufacturer in the view of portable and made sure my cable modem Simulator wasn't bad. I took it to a computer store and we checked the crossover cable. Everything is fine! What else can I try?

    Obtain an IP address automatically is the wrong setting on the Ethernet connection.  To return to the sharing tab and unshare the wireless connection.  Close all windows network, and then open them and re - share the wireless connection.  Who must configure IPv4 for the Ethernet connection properties for:

    IP address: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway: no
    DNS server: no

  • 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.

  • 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.
