Does your broadband modem have an Ethernet output? If so, I strongly
recommend connecting the modem to a wireless router, instead of using
ICS, to share the Internet connection.
Thanks Steve,
but what about a proxy? Can't that maybe do it?
If you follow this link, you can see my modem - plain USB mobile (wireless)
only.

What now? Please anybody help!!
Regards.
I hadn't thought about using a proxy server. Here's one that might do
the job:

Hi, why am I developing a strange suspicion that due to the way USB port
traffic works, it cannot be shared?
I'm played around with Network Bridges but still no change.
Can you tell me what a 1394 Net Adapter is?
Kind regards.
If your USB modem creates a connection in the Network Connections
folder, it should be possible to share it. What are all of the
connections that appear in your Network Connections folder?
The Network Bridge can't do Internet Connection Sharing. If you've
created a Network Bridge, delete it. I've written an article about
what it does:
XP ICS - Network Bridge

Your computer has an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port, which can be used to
connect a digital camera, external disk drive, etc.
It's also possible to network computers to each other through their
IEEE 1394 ports. Since you're not doing that, ignore the IEEE 1394
Net Adapter.
