Hello, I have an issue with ad hoc networking in windows 7.
Basically i am trying to ad hoc network with my iphone so i can share my laptops ethernet internet thru wireless to the iphone.
This was not an issue under vista, it worked fine. I think maybe it even use to work on windows 7 for me... but im not 100% sure.
Im now using build 7100.
Basically i have enabled ICS on the network adaptor. Then created an adhoc network on the wifi. Then connected to the ad hoc network. The phone is wirelessly connected. However windows 7 is dispplaying "waiting for users" under the wireless ad-hoc. Also cannot ping or sftp into the phone or access the computers internet from the phone. (Although i can partially sftp into it, i get a welcome message then a timeout), but doesnt reply to pings.
This worked perfectly under vista and i think it may of previously worked for me on windows 7.
I will include a list of the settings.
LAN on DCHP
134.219.152.162
255.255.252.0
Then wireless connection on DCHP, As i said the iphone is connected and has been assigned
169.254.194.40 and 255.255.0.0 on dchp.
However the wireless on the computer displays waiting for users and "not connected" in the adapter page.
Hope i have included enough information here?
any ideas? thanks
