Hi everyone, I hope you guys can help me...

Well I have 2 computers running on Windows XP Pro SP2. One connects to the internet via an USB adsl modem. I have 2 network cards on the 2 computers and I connected them with a cross-over cable. Well the problem is that I've enabled ICS on the server but I don't have any connection in the client. But when I run the server in safe-mode with networking I have the connection in the client !!! The modem is recognized as a network connection and must'nt have a static IP adress whereas the network card itself has this address : 192.168.0.1
The client's network card has no static IP adress too...

Well I hope a pro like you guys is going to answer me :)

Have you tried running the network setup wizard?

Yes of course I did it. The problem is not with the network itself because I can share files on both PCs...

Right. In network connections, is it a bridge, or is it connection sharing? Does the USB ADSL modem have a dial up connection made? I assume you havent shared the network connection, as opposed to the Dial-up? Sometimes it glitches - deactivate the sharing, get rid of all the windows, and try it again.

What happens if you stop the firewall from loading at start up on both PCs? Something that is loading on a normal boot up is causing the connection to be locked out if it is working in safe mode.
