[WLAN] Ad Hoc ICS Between PC and Mac

[Gantlett]

No. The Mac receives an APIPA address, as I said in the earlier post, even though the PC is configured to 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.

And the funny thing is that on Friday it suddenly worked... And then it didn't.

The PC is configured to 192.168.0.1/24? You mean that the PC was assigned that IP address, correct?

Try setting the Macintosh to use the same IP range - 192.168.0.3/24 (=255.255.255.0)

Oh, I tried to do that so many times... Really, tens of times. It won't work. The only time it worked was when both computers were set to DHCP/Obtain Addresses Automatically, and it only worked once.

As I said, when it DID work, the computers were automatically assigned the following addresses:

PC:
IP=192.168.0.1
Sub=255.255.255.0

Mac:
IP=192.168.0.2
Sub=255.255.255.0
Router(Gateway)=192.168.0.1

Honestly, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this (I just realized how sad this sounds... ................. ).

Hi everyone

Since a few days have gone by and I really need to return this product by Sunday (unless I find a way to make the stupid thing work...), I wanted to see if anyone could think of a reason why this won't work and why it worked once (for one connection).

Thank you!
