Windows ICS Ad Hoc to Linux

[cybersmurf]

Ok, so I have a Windows XP Pro system setup with ICS between one of my ethernet cards and a Wireless Linksys Card. On the Laptop side I have it running FC10 with an Atheros built in Wifi. Now the goal of all this is to have the internet going into my Windows Machine, out the Wireless Card on my Dektop to this laptop running FC10. Now I set up ICS on the Windows side. Set up my adhoc network with no authentication or encryption to see if it would work. For the life of me I cannot get my latop to connect to that machine. I have tried it in Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc mode through the Network Manager GUI. I also tried with Static IP and with DHCP. Still no connection.

Am I missing anything? I have searched through about 30 different articles for anything I might have missed but the documentation on this is pretty scarce. Either that or I am phrasing my question wrong.

If you know the answer or know where to find it let me know please, I spent a couple hours today working on it to no avail

Ok, update. My Linux box "Connects" but cannot ping the Windows box, does not pas traffic, and does not get signal. I found this online:

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 channel 11
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid UNIVERSE
#/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.3                      #<comment this out if you are using dhcp>
/sbin/route add default wlan0
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.2             #<comment this out if you are using dhcp
sleep 2                                                             # for some reason you need a little delay for changes to be updated
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
#/sbin/dhcpcd wlan0                                         # of course if you're not using dhcp comment this out

Still nothing works, and help would be appreciated. Windows firewall is off.

Ok, so by following a Microsoft document on setting up a desktop as a router. and finally got it working. My judgement on weather it was working or not was pinging. Well ping cannot transfer, but opened a web browser and what do you know, came up with web page and everything. Now I feel REEEEAAAALLLLLLL Smart....

Cybersmurf OUT!

There is nothing quiet like figuring something out for yourself, it just makes the achievement all that much sweeter. Congrats on figuring it out.

Mate I have exactly the same problem, any chance I can get a link to that MS document? Did you configure the IP address on your laptop statically or dynamically in the end?
