xp ics problem

[Nigel]

I have an ics connection where the host is connected to the net using a usb
adsl modem and an ethernet switch with a wireless access point to the client
computer, I ran the network wizard but was not able to get a reliable
connection until I manually set the ip addresses. I now have connection and
can share files and printers over the network. However the client computer
will not access the internet. I've tried running the winsock fix. I can ping
both pc's from either one everything seems to work except net access, I can
even ping my isp server from the client. Any ideas please?

These tests should help find the problem:

1. On the host, right click the local area network connection and
click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On the client, right click the local area network connection and
click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on the client
and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.99
ping google.com

4. If #1-#3 are right, enter these addresses in Internet Explorer on
the client. They should both take you to the Google web page:

http://216.239.39.99
http://google.com
