Internet Connection Sharing

[Dolby]

I had a wireless connection setup and someone broke my card

So I've just bought a litte USB thing to replace it and set it up perfectly (same static IP etc) and it works perfectly - well, almost. The only thing I need to set up is Internet Connection sharing.

With the old way, it took me 10 seconds : I right clicked the wireless link, 'properties', 'advanced' and check the box 'Allow other network users to connect through the computers internet connection'.

Now the new wireless connection doesn't even have that option. The only thing is that window is the Windows Firewall settings - and everything below that is blank.

Why would this be?

Are you connecting to the internet using your wireless connection / "litte USB thing"?

Because according to that article you must configure ICS on the connection that connects to the internet? Have you checked the setting under the other network adapter?

What Windows are you running XP SP2/3, and what's the make of usb wireless adapter?
