SYMPTOMS

After you install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on a host computer, you may experience the following symptoms:

  • The Winipcfg utility displays the Auto IP address on the LAN adapter.
  • The Network tool in Control Panel shows only the TCP/IP -> Network Adapter, and no "(HOME)" next to TCP/IP. The properties of this item show "Obtain an IP address automatically" instead of the 192.168.0.1 IP address and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
  • There is a Yellow Exclamation point on the ICS Adapter in Device Manager and it has a Code 2 error message.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other.
