Hi. Am having lots of trouble getting ICS to work. I have a laptop and a
desktop, both XP. The laptop is connected to an Airlink+ router via WLAN and
the desktop via LAN. Both are on XP and both can ping each other. All
firewalls are disabled. Because ICS defaults your IP address to 192.168.0.1
the router is running 192.168.0.* I've done the network setup wizard on each
computer (and indeed followed the XP Network Troubleshooter, all with +ve
results, but the desktop simply doesn't see the shared internet connection
from the laptop, and I've no idea where to turn next. It's very frustrating!

With ICS, your machine is the router, requiring 2 nics - one for the
internet and one for the lan. Unless ICS changed and I didn't see it.
 
Why do you need ICS if you're using a router??

Bingo! The router will handle the connection to the internet and both
machines should connect - without ICS - through the router.
