I have 3 computers on my wireless (Linksys) network.
Host runs XP, laptop client runs ME and desktop client
runs XP. ICS and other sharing work fine on laptop.
Cannot access the Internet on Desktop client (XP). I can
share folders and printer with desktop. Internet
firewall is disabled on the desktop. Can someone help me?

Here are some tests to help find the problem:

1. On the XP host computer, right click the local area network
connection and click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On the XP client computer, right click the local area network
connection and click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on the XP
client and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.100
ping www.google.com
