I have a Dlink DI-614+ wireless router and from one of the wireless computers i am trying to connect a laptop through the computer itself to get an internet connection. I cannot plug it directly into the router, and whenever i try to turn on internet connection sharing on the host computer it says:
"Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled. A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing"
DHPC is enabled on the router, and if I disable it, none of the computers can connect. I don't know what to change all the IPs to and the Laptop must get its connection through the wireless computer. The Laptop already can share files on the wireless host, yet no internet connection.
