  • Your assumptions are wrong. If your RaspberryPi is not configured with a static IP it is waiting for DHCP. By sharing the adapter you might enable DHCP in some form. If you are on a company network and a company issue device your IT department might've put limitations in place. In addition, depending on which way around you're sharing, you might also simply be sharing the wrong adapter.

  • @Seth Well, the default was DHCP. So first I tried to use DHCP and it didn't work. So I made some research on google, and I read, that I should use "share to other computers". So I tried that and it's not working either. Computer and Pi are not from the company. My computer is logged in to company wifi, but that's unrelated to the issue I guess, since I'm trying to connect to the Pi via ethernet. What do you mean by "sharing the wrong adapter"? And what do you mean by "which way around you're sharing"?

  • It does sound like you're using ICS. So you're sharing the selected adapater with another interface. Your Notebook is supposed to act like a gateway/router. So you do have a working internet connection and you are trying to make that accessible to a different device. In the past it was possible to make this work the wrong way around. Your Raspberry Pi, depending on configuration, might also be using an APIPA address. You could try to disconnect from the WLAN and just try to use NMAP to scan the appropiate address ranges for a host that's alive. Assuming DHCP did work or an APIPA is used.

  • @Seth Wait, I feel like there is a missunderstanding here. My primary goal is not to share my notebook's internetaccess with the pi. My primary goal is, to be able to access the pi via ssh.

  • But I will try to disconnect from wifi now and see, what's happening then.
