Little ICS Problem with XP

Hi,

Recently setup a Wireless network in my house....only 2 PC's. One desktop PC running XP to act as the gateway to the internet, and my laptop with a wireless adapter to access it, also running XP. I originally had a problem seeing the desktop from my laptop, but that was solved by the firewall settings. However the problem now is with the ICS itself. I setup ICS on my cable modem which is running from my desktop. I have entered my ISP's dns servers into my laptop, and can now access the internet. The only small problem is, that around 30% of the time, when I go to view a page I get a Page Cannot Be Displayed error, and I have to keep retrying in order to access it (which it does). However if I was to go to the same webpage from my Desktop pc and not accross the wireless network, the page opens with no problem at all. I know that it could be down to signal, but thee is nothing wrong with simply browsing the files on my desktop from my laptop, so I see no extra reason why ICS should have a problem.

Any Ideas

Cheers

Craig
