DHCP Service in ICS Does Not Assign 192.168.0.1 IP Address to LAN Adapter
This article was previously published under Q240443
SYMPTOMS
After you install Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on a host computer, you may experience the following symptoms:
- The DHCP service does not assign the 192.168.0.1 IP address to the LAN adapter.
- The Winipcfg utility displays the Auto IP address on the LAN adapter.
- The Network tool in Control Panel shows only the TCP/IP -> Network Adapter, and no "(HOME)" next to TCP/IP. The properties of this item show "Obtain an IP address automatically" instead of the 192.168.0.1 IP address and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
- There is a Yellow Exclamation point on the ICS Adapter in Device Manager and it has a Code 2 error message.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if some of the files installed with Dial-Up Networking adapter are damaged.
