Internet Connection Sharing via Ad Hoc

[martins]

Hallo folks,

my computer (A) is connecting through a cable and a modem with dsl into internet. Then I created an ad hoc connection in A. In the end I activated the internet connection sharing.

I connected the second computer (B) through the ad hoc connection. Strangely if I open IE or firefox in B, I can not open any site with www.something.xxx.

I tried to ping A, succeed.

I tried to ping www.google.com, host didn't found.

From A I tried to ping www.google.com, it succeed and i got the ip number of google (209.85.129.147).

Trying from B again:

ping 209.85.129.147, succeed.

Then I tried to open 209.85.129.147 from IE, I could open google, but if I enter www.google.com, it seems B can not resolve www.google.com to the ip address....

If I search from 209.85.129.147 (google.com), i get google resulsts, and if I click one of the results, B can not resolve the address again....

Can someone help me solving this problem please?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Amocanu,

thank you, but the site is covering ICS between LANs that I have done before, and this is not the case.

This time I want to share the connection over an Ad Hoc.

Comp A is connecting to the internet over LAN, and tries to share over Ad Hoc.

Comp B wants to go to the internet over Ad Hoc with A.

The Problem is:

it seems B can contact sites through their ip address directly (a.e. 209.85.129.147), but not over their name (a.e. www.google.com). How do I fix this?

Edit:

It works now, the problem was, B had a static IP address...
