You need to provide more information on how you are trying to set this up. What kind of internet connection are you trying to share? I assume that you don't have a router, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to use ICS. So, on the computer that is going to be making the internet connection, which networking device is going to connect to the internet. Which device is going to make a connection with another computer (I assume a wireless device). Why do you need to run the networking wizard to set this up (the wizard is really quite lame - and if the user answers one question wrong, the network will not work).?
So the NVidia networking device is connecting to the broadband connection - Internet Connection Sharing should be enabled on this device (go to Network Properties, right-click on this network device and select Properties, then click on the Advanced tab and put a check mark in the box next to "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection". OK your way out. Now make sure this box is not checked on all other network adapters. I'm assuming that the other computer will be connecting to this computer through wireless - is that correct? If so, make sure the Internet Connection Sharing box is not checked on the other computer, and make sure both wireless devices are running in Ad-Hoc mode. You may need to assign static IP addresses to these devices, but Internet Connection Sharing, once enabled, should do this for you if the TCP/IP properties on the wireless devices are set to obtain an IP address automatically.
I am use a broadband connection which is always on, the network device is a NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking adapter is connected to the net, and yes the wireless device is the local network device running at 11mbs and there is also a 1394 Net Adaptor that if disabled will turn off the internet, I tried to set it up manually but that didn't work so I tried the wizard cos all the ICS troubleshooting guides and the setup guides recommend to use the set up wizard. Thanx for your reply.
Hi, I had a look at what you suggested and that was all good, I have made some progress cos under network connections on the client comp has internet connection on LAN but i still cant surf or ping anything apart from the local network. I've had to set a static IP cos of the firewall on the host comp.
I also had a look at the MS-KB page in the above post but I went though that and that's how I ended up with the Internet connection on LAN as I mentioned before, but still no surfing,
