Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Internet Connection Sharing sharing is not working with XP and VMware as client.

hi,

I am using Broadband connection with ADSL modem. Previously i used the modem to authenticate the PPoE username and password.

Current Setup
now i configured my modem to bridge mode and created one PPoE connection in my XP box and doing the authentication in XP. - now internet is working well.

Secondly i installed VMware and installed another XP client in it.

I enabled the " Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" and other two Check boxs in the Internet Connection Sharing section of my PPoE connection's Properties --> Advanced TAB.

Now my LAN IP of XP (Server machine) is changed to 192.168.0.1

Now i enabled the DHCP client option in my Client XP (VMware OS), and i created a new network connection (i.e. Connect to Internet --> Setup my connection manually --> Connect using a broadband connection that is always on )

I got 192.168.0.x IP for my client VMware XP assigned by DHCP with gw and DNS as 192.168.0.1. Moreover one Internet Gateway is displayed in the network connections of Client VMware XP ( which inherits the settings from my Server XP i.e.base OS)

My Problem

The issue is, when i ping from Client VMware XP to
192.168.0.1 --> Success
public IP assigned to my PPoE --> Success
Gateway of the PPoE --> failed ( Request timed OUT)
Any other public IP --> Request Timed OUT

Any host names like google.com, yahoo.com and techsupportforum.com -- Request Timed OUT but its able to fetch the IP of those hostnames.

When i checked with Ethreal, i found that the DNS quesry and responses are working fine which is UDP. but the ICMP and HTTP are not working where HTTP is TCP.

I have enabled the IP Forwarding in my Server XP's registry by "HKEY_L_M\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\"
IPEnableRouter vale to 1 .. but no luck

i have seen many issues like mine is solved in this forum, so hope my issue also will get fixed. i have tried those solved things but still could not figure out the cause of my problem.

So please help me on solving this.

Thanks. ( Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry for this big story
