ICS trouble shooting in windows XP?

I have two PC running windows XP pro. With sp2. The first one is connected to ADSL service, I tried to run ICS (internet connection sharing )between these two computers but it did not work. On the client PC whenever I launch internet explorer it shows immediately error message (The page can鈥檛 be displayed ) as if there is no connection at all. In fact I followed Microsoft Article ID 314066 (How to enable Internet Connection Sharing on a home or a small office network connection in Windows XP) and many others but it did not work

Would you please advise how to solve the problem.

First these are the connections you would need:

-Cable from wall to Modem

-Ethernet, or USB, from modem to computer

-Ethernet cable from Computer #1 to Computer #2 (NOTE--- This must be a crossover ethernet cable, not a straight through ethernet cable)

On computer #1 turn on the ICS service. On computer #2 you need to tell it to connect to the internet through another computer.

That should do it.

Anyhow I found the correct answer in MS article ID 309642 - How to Configure a Static Client for Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing - and I could get it working Best regards, Alaa Mostafa +20-127 339 531 Report It
