Ok here is what happened. I have ran this wizard a bunch of times. I checked
out your artical seen that I was doing it right, ran it again. This is the
first time this has ever happened. It said "an error occurred during
configuration of the network on this coputer. You can configure your network
manully or you can run the wizard again with different sttings". I rebooted
computer tryed again it went through that time. Went to advanced settings
tab, no ics there. Ran the wizard again came up with same error. Went to
setup manully, here is what it said. "An error occurred while internet
connection sharing was being enabled. The service cannot accept control
messages at this time." Here is IP again, rick's is the same as before.

Your question about report is the first time you told me to uncheck word
wrap. You have to leave it checked to get the report this way. The firewall
is what came with XP. Do they come with different ones, if so how do I
check?
Thanks Chuck
