Internet Connection Sharing: No Internet Access

Sorry, yes, can you please check on the laptop if the Internet Connection Sharing service is running properly?

it appears to be working in the services page thingy, i tried restarting it, still no ICS

Great... How about the Event Viewer on the laptop? Anything relevant there?

Error: The ICS_IPV6 failed to configure IPv6 stack.

Ah, wonderful, an error! Try disabling IPv6.
How to disable IP version 6 (IPv6) or its specific components in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, in Windows Server 2008 R2, and in Windows Server 2008

still nothing

What does the event viewer say?

3 separate errors:

1: The DHCP allocator has detected a DHCP server with IP address 10.0.0.138 on the same network as the interface with IP address 192.168.137.1. The allocator has disabled itself on the interface to avoid confusing DHCP clients.

2. The DNS proxy agent was unable to allocate 0 bytes of memory. This may indicate that the system is low on virtual memory, or that the memory manager has encountered an internal error.

3. The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 10.0.0.9, since the IP address is outside the 192.168.137.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on this IP address, change the scope to include the IP address, or change the IP address to fall within the scope.

And this is on the laptop, right?

ya, those were the only error messages on laptop from recent
