NAT problem (Internet timeouts for the client)
 

Hello,

I would like to kindly ask for your support regarding a rather peculiar problem encountered when trying to instruct my computer to share its cable connection to the internet (via a Wireless PCI Network Card)

I followed these steps:

A. TCP/IP settings

1. On the "server" computer (a desktop with an Ethernet network card and a WiFi PCi):
- For the Ethernet: IP, NetMask, GW and DNS from the ISP;
- For the Wi-Fi: IP: 192.168.0.1, NetMask: 255.255.255.0, DNS from the ISP, GW nothing;
2. On the "client" computer:
- IP: 192.168.0.2, NetMask: 255.255.255.0, GW: 192.168.0.1, DNS from the ISP;

The name for the connections are as follows:
"Internet" for the ISP one
"Local" for the Wi-Fi

Both comps ping each other succesfully:

B. (ICS deactivated)

run cmd
netsh routing ip nat uninstall [ENTER]

START – Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Services
„Routing and Remote Access” :
- Status = Started;
- Startup Type = Automatic

run cmd

netsh [ENTER]
routing ip nat [ENTER]
install [ENTER]
add int „Internet” full [ENTER]
add int „Local” private [ENTER]

I have attached as reference the client's and server's response to "ipconfig/all".
Please consider that both computers are members of the same workgroup and can properly ping each-other and also see their respectively shared files and printers. Unfortunately the client cannot connect to the internet (Connection timeout).

Thanks in advance,
Razvan
