ICS

[Guest]

I want to setup my main PC running XP Home addition to be the single point of contact to the internet via ADSL. Then connect a laptop running W2K professional via DHCP off a LAN. Then PPTP tunnel back out to a corporate LAN

I can't seen to set up the LAN connection correctly.

I've run ICS wizzard which appears to run correctly. I have a physical connection. However, when a right click on the LAN icon to repair the connection the following message is displayed : TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection - cannot proceed.

The Laptop nic is enabled as I use this at work. Ive tried setting IP address manually as detialed in another entry Not luck.

Any thoughts what I've not done ?

Are you using a hub to connect the two computers?

You are going about it the hard way. Buy yourself a router, a couple of
NICs, and forget ICS.

The XPnetwork diag tools reprot the following

- Network adapters
WAN miniport (IP) FAILED
MAC bridge miniport FAILED
- Default gateways
WAN miniport (IP) FAILED

IP address

Any assistance on understanding what I've done wrong would be appreciated
