Sorry, I forgot to say that both machines are running ZoneAlarm (free version) firewall.

I have set up ICS on my Desktop (Host) and Laptop (Client), but cannot browse any websites with IE (etc) on Laptop.

Setup is as follows:-
a.. Host machine (Desktop) is XP Pro SP2, with all latest patches. Connects to Internet via wireless router to broadband DSL connection. Wireless router is 192.168.1.1, Desktop is 192.168.1.2, and connection is fine, no problems. LAN connection is via crossover cable, set to 192.168.0.1, and connection to Laptop is fine too.
b.. Client machine (Laptop) is also XP Pro SP2. LAN address set to 192.168.0.62, and LAN connection works fine (e.g. transferring files across. I can ping IP addresses on the web from here quite happily, but IE just waits forever to connect to a website directly.
Clearly I have something set wrong somewhere, but I can't for the life of me think what.

Pointers will be gratefully received!
Thanks.

Check the ZoneAlarm web site. I think I recall seeing that ZoneAlarm
(free version) is incompatible with ICS on the host computer, or that
it needs special settings.
