ICS between Wifi capable Windows 7 laptop and Slackware desktop

looking at the messages seems that windows is not able to assign an address automatically, probably because nothing equivalent to dhcpd is running there: IMHO this looks like a problem related to windows and the way you are sharing your connection there.

From what I've read on the matter, Windows is (believe it or not) running a dhcp server and provides NAT between the two interfaces.

Please let me know if there's something I should be looking out for, and thank you once again for your dedication to solving this problem.
