ICS Configuration

[Glm]

Whilst waiting for the installation of DSL in a new apartment, I am
accessing the Internet via dial-up on a WinXP SP-1 notebook. This is
connected via LAN to my WinXP SP-2 desktop, which I use for work. The two
machines can see each other and I can copy files between them.

However, I cannot access the Internet (at all) on the desktop. ICS is
configured on the laptop; the 'Home networking connection' is set to the
network adaptor connected to my hub. I have set the IP address of the
laptop to 192.168.0.1 and that on the desktop to 192.168.0.2.

Any ideas regarding what I can do to access the Internet from my dektop, via
the laptop, would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Are the workgroup names the same, and the machines 'see' each other on
the connection? Then in Network connections on the one connected to the
Internet, r-click the connection. Properties and on the Advanced page
make sure 'Let others connect through' is checked

You may then have on the other machine to disable- repair - enable the
connection
