I catch Internet on laptop windows wifi, and using windows ICS I share the ethernet connection to wifi, I plugin a ethernet cable to laptop/desktop and then I use DHCP on desktop and desktop debian gets 192.168.137.225.
So the ethernet on laptop windows is 192.168.137.1 and the debian desktop is 192.168.137.225 but I can't make the two talk.
I can't ping laptop who is 192.168.137.1 from desktop which is 192.168.137.255
PING 192.168.137.1 (192.168.137.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
