thank you mike, your advice did give me the energy to continue
experimenting. so i got the combination correct! the funny thing is that
the technical support from the isp company said that it was impossible to
do what I was attempting!!
I didnt believe it was true...
Now I have had internet on a second computer with XP and Linux (dual boot).
The ICS machine has XP pro also. But this does not matter at all since the
ICS of Home is exactly the same!
thanks again
