Hi all, I have a weird situation that has got me stumped. I have enabled ICS on my host machine to share internet with 1 client machine I have. I have setup static ICS. Client is 192.168.0.3. Host is 192.168.0.1 and I have update the host’s host file correctly. The host also has wireless, usb connected internet (WOOSH). Both PC’s are running Vista Ultimate.
The problem is when I just use my host machine, client PC switched off, as soon as I establish a connection to the internet, the connection becomes crazy active bouncing around 90% bandwidth. This then stops me from using the internet. I open internet explorer but it will time out leaving me unable to load the website. Any website. I installed NetLimiter and can see a svchost process is downloading 20Kbs, and uploading 50kbs to my ISP’s DNS IP. My wireless is about 1.5Mbs speed I think.
Last night I finally found that by disabling ICS I got my internet usage back! I was happy there, but I still want ICS for my client PC.
Anybody have any thoughts?
thanks in advance,
Paul.
