Main computer is connected to the internet via broadband modem, with ICS
turned on. Also connected to Linksys via PCI cable.
Laptop connected to Linksys via wireless PCMCIA card, both computers can see
each other fine on the network.
How do I get the laptop to access the internet through the host main
computer? whenever I click internet explorer on the laptop, I just get 'page
cannot be displayed'. Main computer is connected to internet at the time,
running XP Pro. Laptop has XP Home.
