Internet Sharing with Ethernet Port

[davidjosephman]

I do not have Broadband internet. I got the Touch because the Internet Sharing option with Sprint PCS if free on my account. I what to share my Sprint EVDO connection with my Xbox360. Heres my setup...

1:HTC Touch in Internet Sharing mode via USB. IPv4:192.168.0.1 no DG
2:When trying to share connection to Ethernet port Windows wants the IPv4 of the Ethernet port to be 192.168.0.1. Windows give this error...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241769
Error 783: Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled. The LAN connection selected as the private network is either not present, or is disconnected from the network. Please ensure that the LAN adapter is connected before enabling Internet Connection Sharing.

I looked up this Error. It states that Windows wants the Ethernet port to be 19.168.0.1 and something else is using that IP already. The Touch uses that IP and I don't know how to change it or change the IP that Windows wants to use. Please Help!

Your touch should be using 192.168.2.1 and the virtual adapter on your computer should be 192.168.2.2.

Check to see that there aren't any interfaces that have that port configured statically. In theory this should work although the latency is going to be out the roof and will definitely not be worth playing any games on.

I have the Vogue(6900) as well, and while the download speeds from sprint are pretty quick when connected to a computer, it will be hard to get any good speeds out of it IMO.

Let me know if you figure this out. If I think of anything else, I will let you know.
