I have updated desktop computer that is connected to the internet via ADSL
firewalled with the XP firewall and it sends through ICS the internet to a
laptop. Because of a hardware conflict I cannot update the laptop.

My Question is this:

Will the desktop computer with the firewall also protect the laptop even if
I disable the firewall on the laptop?
