Sometimes DHCP on windows Ad-Hoc takes too long to assign IP address or sometimes it fails to do so.

So if DHCP is not working properly, use static IP on the client side.

Type ipconfig in command prompt and find the IP address of an interface named Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter.

Now, in the client system, use that IP as the default gateway and give the client IP address with first 3 fields same as the default gateway and giving a different number in the 4th field.

eg:

Default Gateway : 192.168.43.1
IP Address of client : 192.168.43.3

This fixed my issue. I forgot to share my wifi to hostednetwork.

To share you wifi with hostednetwork;-

go to network adapter settings
right-click on your default wifi adapter
click on properties
go to sharing tab
check on allow other user to connect to this computer
in drop down menu select your hostednetwork

Also make sure there's no firewall interfering with the dishing out of dhcp addresses. https://superuser.com/questions/867394/internet-connection-sharing-with-wireless-hosted-network-whn-is-not-providing – David d C e Freitas Aug 29 '21 at 19:50

You can try using a static IP address in Phone Wifi settings. Try the following settings.

IP Address: 192.168.137.2
Gateway: 192.168.137.1
DNS1: 8.8.8.8
DNS2: 8.8.4.4

The following procedure worked for me (windows 8.1)

1) Disable Internet Connection Sharing from your modem connection -> properties -> Sharing Tab

2) Enable it again.

3) Disconnect from the Internet.

4) Reconnect again

5) Restart ICS service from the "services.msc" window.

6) Stop the hostednetwork

7) Start the hostednetwork

8) Internet Sharing is now enabled and everything gets resolved.

it also worked for me.

from here: https://superuser.com/questions/804227/how-to-get-assigned-ips-by-hostednetwork

I've also had this problem, and I solved it like this:

create a WiFi hotspot:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=ProvaMi  key=pippo123

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Assign the hotspot a name in the "Network and sharing center > change adapter settings" (in my case: "TestWIFI")

Set a static IP address for the WiFi network:

netsh interface ip set address "TestWIFI" static 192.168.159.1 255.255.255.0 196.168.159.1

Now, using a program that provides a DHCP server on windows (http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/), I configured the server to generate the

[SETTINGS]
IPPOOL_1=192.168.159.2-254
IPBIND_1=192.168.159.1
AssociateBindsToPools=1

Now, the DHCP server will update its own settings file (dhcpsrv.ini) with the IP address and the DNS name of any connected client.

Hope this helps.

Note: all the above (IP addresses, passwords, etc.) are examples for my test configuration. Of course you'd need to use your own settings.

Simply restarting the ICS service from the "services.msc" window will fix this. After which, run:

netsh wlan stop host

netsh wlan start host
