Internet Connection Sharing

[whositt]

OK. I set up a D-Link wireless network (the hub has a router) but we don't have broadband, so I set up ICS in XP pro. Went to get online on the host and it worked fine. Tried to get online on the client and it was a no-go, I got a "page cannot be displayed." But I have a valid IP on the host and client, and we can share printers, files, etc over the network with no problem. Restarted and redid the ICS setup to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks

Oh also, the "Internet Gateway" shows up in "Network Connections" on the client, and it says it's connected. But still no connection though a browser/e-mail and an IP won't ping in DOS.

Try uninstalling ICS and use a proxy server such as:

Thanks I'll try that...

ZoneAlarm Free isn't friendly to ICS. If you're running ZA you're better off switching to Sygate or some other firewall.
