ICS Nightmare

[Chris]

OK, I've tried to run the 'Network Setup Wizard', and
there was an error there. So, I went into my 'Network
Connections' in the control panel, right-clicked on the
connection I want to share, went to properties and
clicked on 'Advanced', tried to enable ICS and the only
error it gives me is 'An Error occured while Internet
Connection Sharing was being enabled. The dependency
service or group failed to start.' Does anyone know how
to fix this problem??

Are you on broadband or dialup? If you are using broadband, I
recommend you quit using the ICS pile of crap software and invest in a
cable/DSL router. Watch sales and you can pick one up for about $50.

It will take care of NAT, provide a rudimentary hardware firewall, and
provide DHCP services so all your computers can talk to each and other
AND use the internet. The best part is that no one computer has to be
turned on so the others can access the internet.

Well, it's more a thing of I have a wireless access
point, and then I'm piggybacking via network cards my
Win98SE computer to my WinXPPro computer, which then uses
my USB wireless network adapter. Make sense so far??
