I am trying to use a ad hoc through a wired router. I have a desktop computer with a wireless adapter and it also has an ethernet connected to an adsl modem. I tried enabling ICS and it still did not work. i got my laptop to connect, but the laptop had no internet. The laptop does also have a wireless card. Im using windows xp. Any ideas?

When i go to cmd and type ipconfig /all, it says i have no default gateway for the wireless. When i try to release and renew my ip, the ethernet renews and the wireless does not. Instead it says "an error has occoured, cannot contact DHCP server. Request Timed out". Any ideas?

thanks,
chris.

wait sorry--forget the router. My desktop is directly connected to the adsl modem. The desktop has a wireless card. The laptop is the client and the desktop is the host.
any ideas?
