Hi all,

Hi all,

I have just re-built an old PC to create "Server" for my Home Network. It
is running Windows 2000 Pro. As I am still setting it up, and not currently
in the position to move it to the same room as the Router due to room
shifting, I want to use ICS from "New
Laptop" to connect it to the Web and update it. The laptop is running
Windows XP Home on a WiFi network, and the wireless connection is shared. I
followed the ICS setup instructions on PracticallyNetworked.com, but it
still will not work. I have tried it on 2 different Network cards, without
any luck.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

If I have missed any info, just say,

Cheers,

Neil
