Help with ICS! (XP Host, Puppy 1.0.6 Client)

[sulemasc]

I've hit a roadblock and need some suggestions from those who aren't new to Linux clients on MS network hosts

-setup XP host for ICS by configuring the Internet LAC
-assume host is called "host1" on "mshome"
-LAN NIC is now 192.168.0.1, mask 255.255.255.0, its IntelPRO set wireless, assume ESSID is Puptest, dns and default gateway blank
-PuppyPC, called "puppypc" has Linksys WMP11_V4 PCI wifi NIC with drivers already installed using ndiswrapper
-host1 can surf and ping the net, and windows firewall, morizot firewall, 3rd party firewall all disabled

I ran these commands on puppypc as per wifidotpup.html for ad-hoc wireless networking:

#ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add -net default gateway 192.168.0.1 wlan0

Then I run the Puppy wireless network wizard, click wifibeta to setup for the first time, then run WAG. The XP host and Puppy Client connect. I can ping the host LAN nic successfully, but can't ping the Internet NIC or Router. See attached notes (note in below that it says wireless gateway found - dunno when that appeared)

Notice that the ping to www.yahoo.com got resolved to ip address - I assume this means DNS is working. Also what is the Cell MAC address looking thing for and why does it change? Lastly shouldn't puppypc be listed on the host machine in mshome? It's not there.

This is a long post but wanted to try my best to provide as much info.
Still learning,
Mark

Ubbuh dubbuh - seems I was doing everything correctly. I retried but with making puppypc obtain an ip automatically from xp machine and all is well, except for xp firewall issues.

I'm writing this from my new Aptiva Pentium III machine using wireless Internet Connection Sharing! Yehaa!
