I'm trying to get ICS to work in W7 and it's not. I'm on the verge of having to go back to Vista.
Basically, I share my Verizon 3G card in my Dell laptop via the RJ45 port. I cable that to the WAN port on a wireless router, so that anything else that connects to that router, cabled or wifi, can share this connection (like my Wii).
From the router, I run another cable to my work laptop. I have ICS enabled in the connection properties of the 3G card, and in Vista this works great.
In W7, I see that the work laptop has been assigned an IP, gateway IP, etc, and I can ping the gateway (192.168.10.1) just fine. But I get no 'net.
I went deeper into the ICS settings and checked all the boxes for the various servies (www, ftp, etc), which had always been checked in Vista. Still no luck.
I looked in the Firewall settings and didn't see anything that might help, and even turned the firewall off. Still no luck.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Rob
