Bluetooth Network Connection Not Listed On Internet Sharing Tab
Nov 28, 2011
I'm trying to share an Internet connection via bluetooth.
The host: HP 8740w laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Connected to the Internet via Local Area Connection (wired) The client: Asus Transformer tablet
I have a bluetooth PAN setup and the devices are communicating properly. They both have IPs in the 192.168.44.x range, can ping each other, and I can use a Remote Desktop client on the tablet to control the PC.
The last piece I'm missing is giving the tablet access to the PCs Internet connection. I go into Network and Sharing Center, click Change Adapter Settings, and open the properties of Local Area Connection. On the Sharing tab, I check Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection. I then click the Home Network Connection dropdown, and Bluetooth Network Adapter is not listed. I see others, including my wireless card, VMware virtual adapters, VPN adapters, etc..
I've looked at the Bluetooth Network Adapter's properties, and it doesn't seem to be missing any protocols that the other adapters have. It's enabled, connected, and working fine locally. Is there a registry hack or something that I have to do to make it show up in the ICS list?

internet connection sharing: No internet access!?I am trying to setup internet connection sharing between my laptop (Connected to WiFi) and my pc which has no wireless connection. I've spent a day or two troubleshooting problems such as 'LAN' doesn't have valid configuration and such, i found a solution and I've got the two connections to be able to see each other, but i can't get an internet connection to go through.I have my ipconfig /all for both computers available: (Both have had excess trimmed off to save on character limit)[CODE]

Working with a Windows 7 home premium and also tested a windows vista ultimate machine. enabled internet sharing in the network connections area of 'network and sharing' in the control panel. Proceded to the internet sharing service to set to automatic... then set recoveries all to 0 seconds. on each machine the service stopped immediatly after starting. I write to inquire what have i missed in the proper configuration of this feature.

I have searched online for this and I am still unclear if it is possible. I have a laptop connected to my tv for watching videos. It is connected to my home network through a wireless connection. Can I share the internet with my blu-ray player through the laptops ethernet port? The blu-ray doesn't have wireless and it's too far from my router.

The ad hoc network is connected, but the internet sharing is not enabled i tried checking the "allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection." but no luck and im even confused what should i choose as the private network connection below the option.Also when start adhoc network wizard, after entering the name and network key and next, there is no option that says "turn on internet connection sharing" i dont know why??

I am unable to share an internet connection between two computers in a homegroup.File sharing is OK. The ADSL modem is connected (via USB, no ethernet) to a desktop, the desktop to a laptop via a router. The problem is that after opening network/adapter settings/LAN/properties on the desktop, NO sharing tab appears, only a 'networking' tab. On the laptop both tabs appear...How can I get around this? I know I should really get a modem that connects directly to the route, but don't want to waste any time/money if it doesn't resolve the problem

It's "connected" on the base computer, my desktop. However, my laptop has that annoying spinning circle thingy for a bit, then shows the bars with the exclamation point.I have absolutely NO internet access because of this. I don't understand...it worked before in this same setup! Same password, same ad-hoc/computer-to-computer network, same PCI wireless card and antenna.

I have 2 systems one with windows 7 and an older one with XP. The Windows 7 machine connects to the internet through a network adapter and gets its IP adress automatically and works perfectly both in xp and in 7. The Windows 7 machine is connected to the XP Machine via a second adapter (pci) and a crosslinked cable.
Before Windows 7 IN WINDOWS XP the 7 machine used an ip like 192.168.0.1 and ICS to give internet to the second machine (which got its ip automatically)
I tried a lot of things (ex. static fixed ips enable the computers to share files but not the internet connection) but i still keeps saying its an Unidentified Network / Public Network for the second connection (between the computers)
Note: - ICS is enabled for the internet connection.
- Back when both computers had XP the second XP computer obtained its IP Adress automatically and the internet was shared .. with 7 on the second (xp) computer doesnt aquire the right adress ever.

I want my computer to give out some wifi for mobile devices/other computers. The router is at the other side of the house so i don't get any connection down here. But my computer is wired.When I make an Ad Hoc network, it works. But when I go to turn on the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) it says this: "Windows could not set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"I have turned on Ad Hoc on my wireless network card.When i go to the ICS service and try to start it up, i get the following error:"Windows could not start the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service on local computer.Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

This happened right when I got my windows 7 PC. I am sharing connection with my brother using a router, a internet box interfering with my phone line and a Prosafe 8 Gigabit smart switch. But when ever my bro loads something i lag and when ever i load something, he lags. But for some reason, when I load online games like A.V.A.and Crossfire, we dont lag each other.

Basically I'm creating an ad hoc for my other laptop to connect to a 'main' laptop that is of course connected to the modem. So can anyone explain to me why is the 'turn on internet connection sharing' is missing. I can find my created ad hoc but since internet connection is not turned on I can't have access.

With my new computer I have been using my old laptop to connect to my wireless network (since my new computer doesn't have a wireless adapter) through the Internet Connection Sharing function in Windows 7. This all worked fine for about a week but then suddenly I cannot connect to the internet anymore. I discovered that this was because the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service was not started. I tried starting it but I just get an error saying "The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."

I have problems with internet sharing. My laptop is connected to my home network wireless, and my x360 is connected to my laptop with a Ethernet cable. Now i can't turn on ICS. I get a error message "An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled. The dependency service or group failed to start"
I have also checked services.msc and ICS is set to manual, I've tried to set it automatic and restarted my computer, after reboot ICS is set to manual again. Can't force start, error message "Windows could not start the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"

I'm switching from landline ISP to mobile ISP (dongle). So I'm thinking of sharing 3G dongle (ZTE MF190) internet connection with other PC, device etc, through D-Link modem+router(DSL-2640B) that I use for landline internet connection before. Is this possible? I notice that I cannot use homegroup via D-Link anymore after connecting to 3G dongle. I've tried ICS (internet connection sharing) but to no avail.

As I wanted to enable the ICS on my machine it tells me that I can't and that the service that is being enabled does not exist as an installed service and that is ICS.I did a lot of digging on the net about it and it's weird, but I can't find anything concrete about this particular problem.The PC I'm talking about is a work PC with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.I don't think that someone at my work removed this service (I'm not even sure if you can remove a service) but it is missing from the list and it can't be enabled.Is there any way of manually installing it on my windows 7x64?

I've tried both Comodo and ZA firewalls. I prefer either over Windows 7 built-in firewall. The problem I have is after installing either of these I have control issues with Network Discovery and File Sharing. More exactly, even though the system shows these two items are off and/or disabled (manually), Start> Computer> Network will start showing available computers to connect to, whereas, Windows 7 firewall will inform me that both items are turned off. I use a public WiFi so this is obviously not a good thing. How to deal with this 3rd party firewall/File Sharing issue? Is the fact that the 3rd party firewalls are blocking any connection attempts a sign that everything is okay? Or should I just stay with Windows 7 firewall?

Windows 7 N&S center is really slow. I have no idea what's causing it.Symptoms not present when I connect to my wireless router.But when I tether (get a connection from a USB device) the N&S Center stops responding for about 10 minutes.At some point, it will come up with the "Public Network?" box.How can I debug this?Even after the network is initialized, the N&S center is still very slow.I assume it's doing some automatic something or other that keeps pinging this, that or the otherThe USB device would serve an internet connection that has a reasonably high latency.Lots of network tools seem to slow down, especially while the connection is configuring itself. This is probably because all of the services involved are interlinked somewhere, and are waiting on the same mutex to be released or something.

So, we have a network of about one terabyte of storage on it. It is normally connected to my laptop, a desktop and our Playstation 3. Obviously it connects via internet with our wireless router and such but for some reason it won't connect to my laptop? I have everything except a few programs on the network (Everything from my documents to my pictures to my other programs are stored on the network)...thus not being able to access it is a HUGE difficulty

ACER Eee PC running Win7 with all windows updates. The problem is the machine running Windows 7 Home Premium intermittently loses "internet access". Where the bars are full, but the ! shows and there is no connectivity. The other Win7 machine is set to automatically install updates and is running fine, although it seemed as though I was restoring it every week or so to get connectivity.Back to the point, the machine in question is Win7 and all available updates are installed.Bonjour service is "stopped" (but it runs fine on the other Win7 machine), TCP/IP was reset, Winsock is reset, registry/temp files cleaned via CCleaner. Zone Alarm Free and AVG are running, but they were running this morning, yesterday and a while ago when it lost connectivity again. One time I went to bed annoyed ready to set the %^&* thing on fire, but in the morning it was working fine!
I'm not exactly a N00B, but I'm dying for an explanation or a fix other than restoring every time "internet access" isn't available. Mind you, this house is full of nerds...Android phone, two iPhones, Lubuntu, Win7 Basic, Wii...all wireless and a wired Vonage that all works great.I was a member of That Computer Guy forums for a couple of years and learned a lot from the moderators and know how much work you guys do to give us this free service.

Windows 7 build 7057 EEE 1000HE
I seem to have a situation where my wireless connection does not include my local network, so I cannot see or connect to any local computers on my network but I can connect to the Internet just fine wirelessly. Of course, if I wire into the Ethernet port I can see the local computers. I know I should be able to access the local computers wirelessly but I cannot seem to find the "switch" to combine local and Internet access.

I have installed Win 7 - Build 7100. It worked for 2 hours and since then all I get is the network icon in the bottom right with the yellow triangle. It states unidentified network - no internet access. It is a NVIDIA Network controller on a ASUS Striker II Extreme board.

Hi, I have a strange problem. I installed Windows 7 on my office laptop and it works fine. When I then take my laptop home and connect it to my wireless network at home. I can't surf as expected. What happens is that the laptop connects to the wireless network without problem, however when I start browse the web, i get something like "Website cannot open, check your Internet connection" 99 times of 100. But there is no problem with the connection to the wireless network. Any ideas?

I have recently gone from a satellite broadband connection which I had set up through a home network, to using a Sierra Wireless Aircard 753S on the Australian Telstra 3G network. Under my previous set up (Satellite internet through a Netgear Wireless G router - WGR614) I have a desktop with Win 7 Pro and dual booting with Linux Mint 12, a Dell laptop with Win 7 , XBox 360, a Digital TV Tuner (DXTreme) and a Samsung LCD TV Series 6 with wifi connectivity all connected in a network. I also have an ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 that I would like to include in teh home network.Now I have internet through a hotspot Sierra wireless aircard (meaning the desktop and laptops connect direct to it) can I still have a home network running on all the equipment, not to access the interenet but for file sharing etc or is this something that could have conflicts etc and at the same time have internet access through teh aircard.Since going to the aircard and no internet access on the network, the LAN is not longer working, so am wondering not only if there could be conflicts but also if I should reset up the network from scratch again.I'm thinking along these lines because it appears I am unable to use the aircard with a router to have a network that way.
