@valkyrie44 Thanks so much for all your help. Looks like you are learning some stuff right along with me.
You think you are confused? Your confusion is nothing compared to mine, ha.
On my internet connection. I throw them some money and a big thanks occasionally.
Ran cat /etc/os-release in putty and got this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
So it looks like I am definitely using bookworm.
@thagrol and thanks for all the help you provide me and others. Over 15,000 posts. Looks like you have been helping a lot of people with their Pi problems, for quite a while.
I help on forums, with things I'm good at. Mostly help people keep their vw diesels running and permaculture stuff.
Over 4500 on one forum but I don't have 15.000 posts on any.
So I really appreciate your time and effort.
I'm going find out what their router is using.
I ran angry IP scanner with a range of 192.168.88. 0/255
raspberrypi.local showed up at 192.168.88.15
DESKTOP-50LK5CK which I think is my laptop, showed up at 192.168.88.19,.. no wait.
That might be the address for the router. I see it in IPv4 address when I checked home2, which is my internet connection.
When I go to setting>network and internet>wifi HOME2> properties it shows 192.168.88.19 so that might be the router IP address?
If that is the router IP address, then it is too close to the Pi IP right?
If so I'll need to change the Pi IP address?
When I enable ICS, it's in wifi. Does that mean it's sharing with the router?
I've been thinking it was sharing whatever internet my laptop is connected to, even if I go to the library or other wifi connection.
Or is it sharing the internet from this router alone?

My Pi address is 192.168.88.15.If your router uses 192.168.88.0/24 you must use something else for the point to point connection. That could be 192.168.1.0/24 or one of the other private subnets (e.g. 10.0.0.0/8).
