You don't need to run the Wizard on a client computer. If you assign
the client's TCP/IP properties manually, make all of these settings:

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(s)

On the client, run Internet Explorer and click Tools | Internet
Options | Connections | LAN Settings. Clear all of the boxes on that
screen.

If those suggestions don't solve the problem, please reply to this
message in the news group (not by E-mail) with more information to
help other people understand the problem:

1. What type of Internet connection are you sharing: dial-up, DSL,
cable modem, etc. If it's DSL, does it use PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)?

2. What version of Windows does the host computer run? If it's XP,
what service pack, if any, is installed?
