I can not seem to get the dial-up connection that is being shared to show up
in the connect to menu on the start menu. It shows up in the network
connections but its a pain to have to open that to start and stop the
connection from another computer. On the machine that has the connection it
does show up in the connect to menu. This may not be possible but I hope
that it is.

Thanks

I don't think it's possible for the shared Internet connection to
appear in "Connect To" on the client computers.

On the host computer, enable "Establish a dial-up connection whenever
a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet" in the
shared connection's Properties | Advanced. Then, running a program
that uses the Internet (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Outlook Express,
etc) on a client will automatically cause the host to connect.
