Internet Sharing ... ARGH!

[Dolby]

We have two PCs in the house ... (1) and (2).

(1) is the primary PC and has 3G broadband, wireless gateway thing and everything on it. (2) Has a wireless card and just needs the internet connection.

The gateway thing on (1) is setup in infratructure mode (unsecured) and (2) CAN see it. The packets are sent/recieved, it connects, can access the shared HDD and everything is perfect. The only thing it won't do it connect to the Internet from (1)!

The network connections on (1) are ...

VMCLite (Dial up)
Internet connection (Internet gateway)
WAG Gateway (LAN or Highspeed Internet)

The VMCLite is 'shared' and home networking is' WAG Gateway'. Both PCs ar running XP. Is there something I'm missing?! Do I need the Internet connection (Internet gateway)?! Should there be anythign on (2)?!

Please help!

Quick update on this : I've done something my Internet Connection (Internet Gateway) connection is gone ...

Everything else still applies

Windows, I assume? By Internet connection (Internet gateway) you mean the windows "internet connection sharing" feature? If that's gone, nothing's gonna get through!

What are your IP addresses? What network hardware do you have - is there a separate wifi hub?

the best thing to do will be to install a 3g router of some kind.. well easiest option dunno if its cheapest option

I used to have a setup like yours at home before i got adsl, this is how i got it to work:
on pc 1 give it a static ip address of 192.168.0.1 with subnet 255.255.255.0
then goto the properties of the connection that you use to access the internet and look on the advanced tab.
with internet connection sharing make sure that all three boxes are ticked use the drop down list to specify which connection pc 2 uses to connect to pc 1.
on pc 2 change the network settings that the IP address is assigned from dhcp.

the reason it works this way because 192.168.0.1 is the gateway ip for ICS and this is coded into windows. so when pc 2 is given an ip address from pc 1 it will also inform windows that it has an internet connection that can be used.
