    I managed to share files between two computers. They both see each other'S name. But, i can not
    exit to the Internet from the other computer. ( the one not connected directly to the modem)
    Everything has been done properly that has to be done for ICS, however, i can not access Internet.

    First computer(the one directly connected to the modem also has the wireless adapter) :

    . On the network and sharing center screen --> i see multiple networks and Internet. Under these,
    i see Lalakers(SSID) and wired LAN.

    Second computer (the one has to get Internet access via radio waves from the first) :

    . On the network and sharing center screen --> i see name of this computer then Lalakers but right side is greyed going to the Internet


    If local side IP address of my modem assigned 192.168.1.1 , which IP addresses should i assign to these laptops for these wireless IP configuration also default gateway?

    IP address of first computer :
    Default gateway of first computer:


    IP address of second computer:
    Default gateway of second computer:

    It’s been a while but I believe on the first computer (the one that is connected to the internet), you don’t need a default gateway on the wireless adaptor as it will used the wired connection to access the web.

    On the second PC you need the default gateway to be the wireless adaptors IP address on the first computer.

    So IP configuration should be like this on the first computer ? : IP address --> 192.168.1.2
    D.G --> not assigned

    on the second ? : IP address --> 192.168.1.3
    D.G -> 192.168.1.2

    It sounds like you haven't set up ICS properly on the main PC.

    See here and here.

    When you set up ICS on the "main" PC the setting are set up for you, the "second" PC will obtain a DHCP address automatically from the "main" PC (this includes the Default gateway).

    Another thing to check is the proxy in IE.

    Thanks so much for caring with me. However, can not i assign 192.168.1.2 and 1.3 to wireless adapters? i mean
    numbers just after the local side of wired ethernet network adapter which is 192.168.1.1.

    With ICS you are not the one to assign the IP addresses, Windows does. If you do try to assign the IP addresses manually, you may end up with various issues/problems (like the one your experiencing).

    Shortly, nothing worked.

    I tried in both ways.

    . When i made it possible to assign IP addresses automatically, the first computer got this IP address : 169.254.165.194 whereas second one got 169.254.39.85.

    On the first computer and the second computer i ticked the option about sharing Internet connection. However, nothing is working at the moment.

    . When i ignore ICS, by giving IP addresses statically, it requires me to assign default gateway. But, it also
    shows me a message about using more than default gateway(192.168.1.1 for wired LAN, 192.168.0.1 for
    Wireless LAN as the default gateway on the second computer pointing the first computer.) The other
    problem i met was specifying DNS servers.

    Why doesn't it work?
