Using Laptop Wired Etherent?

[LimitedEditioniPhone_com]

i did this. the iphone now has a different ip(x.x.0.x) than my whole network(x.x.2.x). Is there a way that the iphone can be recognized for the whole network and not just a part of the computer hosting the adhoc

Should the Router setting be set to the IP address of my laptop? Should the DNS setting be set to the IP address of my laptop or the DNS servers that my laptop wired connection is using (based off of looking at the output of > ipconfig/all)?

Another possibility is that my laptop setup is conflicting with ICS? It is my work laptop that is configured through a domain while at work but I usually can use it fine at home on my router (except that I cannot see my Windows Networking shared folders or printers without specifying the IP address of the shared computer?). I have also tried ICS on my daughters Vista laptop (without any domain setup) and still could not get ICS to work. I hate giving up on this.

I found that link and set it up sucessfully. The trick is to setup the IP address and it didn't tell you.

You have to setup the static IP instead of DHCP because your PC cannot be a THCP server. The PC is responsible to route the traffic between the iphone and the router.

Also the iphone has to have the real DNS server address

My setup is on the PC

192.168.0.1 - for IP
255.255.255.0 - for subnet
X.X.X.X - for default gateway (found by ipconfig/all at PC)

X.X.X.X - for Prefer/Alt DNS (found by ipconfig /all at PC)

on the iPhone
192.168.0.2 - for IP
255.255.255.0 - for subnet
192.168.0.1 - for Router
X.X.X.X - for DNS (found by ipconfig /all at PC)

Notice the 192.168.0.1 is a separate private network from your main network from your ethernet. If your ethernet side also use 192.168.0.X. You can switch to 192.168.1.1 instead.

As an FYI I've used ICS since its inception and it has always provided DHCP-like functionality.

I use it now with my iPhone and a Vista laptop, and do not need to use static IPs. As usual it populates my IP as 192.168.0.x, DNS as 192.168.0.1, and gateway (router on the iPhone) as 192.168.0.1. These have been the same with ICS since Windows 98 SE. I just used this at a hotel that had wired but not wireless 'Net access (though I am not fond of Vista's handling of ad-hoc networks).
