I have two computers set up on a peer-to-peer network.
The network is working fine, but I cannot get internet
connection sharing to work. I am not an IT specialist and
don't know what WINS, DNS, etc. are. I have tried to
follow the troubleshooting information to no avail. Is
there a comprehensive article which adresses my specific
need?

Hi

As you don't give any specific details of your problem it's difficult to
advise you. However, let's take a stab at it. Is the problem that you can't
access the internet from your clients? Do you have a firewall installed on
the ICS gateway? If that's the problem, do you have Zonealarm installed? If
you do then you need to reduce the Internet Security setting to Medium so
the clients can 'get out'. If that's not the problem then I suggest you
disable or uninstall the firewall until you have this problem resolved.

If you don't have a firewall installed then have a look at
www.practicallynetworked.com and www.homenethelp.com - both sites have
comprehensive tutorials on setting up ICS.

Regards

Bill
