Sharing NTL BB Connection

I have 2 Windows XP PC's networked through an Ethernet switch. They will both happily talk to each other.

PC1 has an NTL BroadBand Connection, how can I ensure that PC2 has internet access? Because ICS doesn't seem to be playing ball.

Thanks in advance.

ICS is the way to go...

the best bet is to go to each machine and note down the results of "ipconfig /all" then post back...with this info we may be able to work out what's gone wrong.

NB - PC2 should be setup with dynamic IP when using ICS.

<marc> i wonder what will happen if i press this...

please give feedback on what works / what doesn't
