    I did most of those things at least. But possibly not all - I'll try again...

    Still can't get it to work. Both PCs can ping each other. The client PC can ping the IP address the modem is using. The intenet connection itself is just fine and dandy.
    What am I missing?

    Check any firewall situation that might be stopping the flow of data. Make sure both computers are on the same workgroup (the name must be the same). If you are on a domain, make sure the domain address is correct, also make sure the username and passwords are correct.

    What I would suggest is this, remove ICS completely. Remove the internet, all the NICs everything from the computers (via software) and reinstall everything from the start using the method outlined at the practicallynetworked.com site.

    It could be possible that your first attempts are interfering with the process. Erase all traces of ICS and networking, as well as the internet connection, and start over from the beginning. Then post your results.


    Another thing you can try is to setup two connections, one for the internet and one for the LAN, and then bridge the connections. That may work as well.
