Glen,
Thank you for your suggestions. Please read my response to Tony's post for
more info. I tried your suggestion: statically setting the IP address to
192.168.0.2-254 and gateway IP to 192.168.0.1, but I couldn't get out onto
the Internet. I could only get to the other computer's shared resources, as
usual.
Looking back on it now, though, I did not disable ICS. Could this interfer
with the other machines ability to get to the internet?
Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks again,
Conan Kelly
