All,
I'm trying to share my ADSL internet connection from my desktop with me laptop.
Tried the manual which I found on this site but still it is not working.
My desktop: XP home edition
My Laptop: XP Pro edition (laptop from my work)
I have performed the following actions:
- Within the Network connections of my desktop, I selected my Planet ADSL connection and configured and checked internet sharing and selected Bluetooth Network. (The other network connections which are available are (1394 connection, LAN connection (not active), Lan-2 connection (WAN network driver - active) and LAN3 connection (WebRacer 851 - active - My DSL USB modem).
- Within the Bluetooth network (of my desktop) I have configured the following:
- TCP-IP configuration:
- IP address: 192.168.0.1
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Standard-Gateway: 192.168.0.1
- Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1
- Within the bluetooth network (of my laptop) I ave configured the following:
- TCP-IP configuration:
- IP address: 192.168.0.55
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Standard-Gateway: 192.168.0.1
- Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1
Within the Advanced configuration of the Bluetooth on my desktop:
- Local Services - Network Access: Allow other devices to access the internet/LAN via this computer.
Then I start the Bluetooth Network Access from my Laptop, which is accepted by my desktop. I have now the Bluetooth network running on both machines.
If I then try to go to the internet via my laptop, I see that packages are send via the Bluetooth network of my laptop. If I look at the status of my bluetooth network of my desktop I can see that packages are received.
But that's it. I don't see any information going back to my laptop, nor I see usage of my ADSL connection to the internet.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Is it normal that when I look within my bluetooth network places that the Network access with my laptop is disabled?
Thx,
Dremeber
