I've recently gotten the Microsoft Display Dock for my Lumia 950 XL (sadly USB-ethernet adapter doesn't work) and I want to see how well it performs as a device to work on. Office 365 works like a charm, but I need to use sites located on a secure wi-fi that uses Active Directory and Policy to give access, or wired lan to skip Active Directory and Group Policy. 

 

The way it is set up is that we need to add devices to the Domain, add the device to a spesific group in Active Directory, use a wired connection to the servers so we can update the Group Policy on the device, all to get access to a secure wi-fi network. Windows 10 phones don't have access to be added to domains, nor update/change any policies as far as I know, so connecting to the wi-fi network is impossible using this.

 

Using my laptop and using the "netsh wlan" commands I can share my laptops connection of the desired network, but my phone gets a 192.168.x.x address and can't connect to the sites i require (Note: normal browsing does work) since it's on another IP-range. 

 

My question: Is there a way for me to set up either my laptop (running windows 10) or a windows server (either 2008 R2 or 2012) to share it's connection in such a way I can connect to servers on the shared network?

As an example: Server I want connection to has IP 10.0.0.10, laptop has IP 10.0.0.11, phone gets IP 192.168.1.2 from laptop through "netsh wlan start hostednetwork". I want connection to the server on my phone, through my laptop.

If there is any confution I could try and explain it better.

So I could set up a windows server and share wi-fi from that, and then set the server to NAT between the 2 networks?

 

Edit: it seems like I was able to make it work using a windows server using NAT. Thanks for the comment!
