Internet conneting sharing

[Ross Gibson]

Hello
I am having trouble enabling Internet conneting sharing I
have one network card and a a crossover cable connecting
to my pS2 my ISP is Aol Broadband and i am trying to
enable it so that i can use my ps2 online. But every time
I try to enable it it comes up with an error saying:

Cannot enable shared access.

Error 783: Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled.
The LAN connection selected as the private network is
either not present, or is disconnected from the network.
Please ensure that the LAN adapter is connected before
enabling Internet Connection Sharing.

I don't have anyother pc connected so what do I do.
I would be very greatful for your help.
Thanks

Hi Ross,


ICS needs two network interfaces - do you have two?
It has been awhile since I've looked at an AOL connection, but doesn't it
use a virtual adapter? If so, you would need to share out this AOL virtual
adapter instead of your NIC.


Thanks,
