I am currently trying to setup a wifi network in my home. the Host compter is on XP home, while the first computer I am trying to attach to the network is a Mac iBook G4 with OS 10.3. The problem I am getting is I can't configure the host computer to ICS. When I go thru the configuration setup under the advanced tab I never see the "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box"

Click the Advanced tab
Under Internet Connection Sharing, click the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box
If you are sharing a dial-up Internet connection, click to select the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box if you want to allow your computer to automatically connect to the Internet

Thanks Keit

The ICS option only appears when all of these are true:

1. There are at least two enabled, connected network connections: one
for the Internet, and one or more for the LAN.

2. The Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on the LAN
connection(s).

3. The Internet connection isn't bridged.
