Hello,

I am trying to share an ADSL internet connection on 2 machines via a
wireless network.
One machine is the DESKTOP that is the HOST of the internet connection, and
the other one is
a centrino LAPTOP that is the client. I am trying to use the XP ICS.

I have succesfully created the wireless network that is peer to peer
(AD-HOC) using the guide on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_02april08.mspx
This network is working!

I DID NOT do the last step to configure WEP because the Internet connection
sharring was not working.
Let me explain: when a connection is sharred an icon pops up in the network
connections on the CLIENT machine
that shows the gateway and lets you control the modem on the HOST machine.
This icon HAS emerged!
It says clearly that the DSL modem is connected and the connection is
shared.

However the client does not get on the internet.

I know of a problem that occures with PPPoe and I have done the following
suggested by MVP Steve Winograd

However I think ( I have not confirmed this yet 100%) the problem does NOT
occure when a DSL modem is connected only, but
ALSO happens
with a simple DIAL UP MODEM, even that cannot be shared succesfully

Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do to make this work?
I know that I can use a wireless router, but I want to do this with XP ICS!

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
