What I do is:
On the computer with the modem,
1. Dialup Connection/Properties > Sharing tab > Enable ICS for this
connection.
2. Local Area Connection/Properties > Internet Protocol/Properties >
Use the following IP address: 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0. All other
fields left blank.

On the other computer,
Local Area Connection/Properties > Internet Protocol/Properties >
Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address
automatically.

NOW ping an external web site like this: ping www.yahoo.com -- if you get a reply, you should also be able to see it in your browser, if you don't, then ping the IP# directly, at this writing: ping 66.218.71.94. IF you NOW get a reply, you have a DNS thing to fix bud. You should also be able to see the site in your browser: http://66.218.71.94 should bring up yahoo.com
