WM6 Internet Sharing not working
Internet Sharing has worked in all V2 & V3.x WM5 OS's I've used, but I cannot seem to get it working on Helmi's WM6. It worked immediately with the last 3.5 I installed (thanks again colonel), which looked like the same internet sharing software as is used in Helmi's WM6, but it just doesn't seem to work. This is on a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine using the built-in driver "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device"
It seems to be IP address related. It gets stuck at status "Acquiring network address" then switches to "Limited or no connectivity".
Under Support Details, the connection is assigned 169.254.66.5 with mask 255.255.0.0 - which, I'm guessing is part of the problem.
I obviously don't know how all this works, but it worked before and now it is not - does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure this a novice question to most out there. Any help is greatly appreciated - I need this connection frequently for work. Thanks.
And thanks again to Helmi for his amazing work on WM6. I've been using it for 6 days now and have had to soft-reset only once. AWESOME.
