Hello,
First of all, I'd like you to know that I'm writing to you here as I'm absolutely dispaired - I've tried everything to solve this problem (AFAIK) and I still haven't made it. Here's the situation - I have a DSL connection through a Speedtouch 330 plugged into a Windows Vista Home Premium desktop PC (I've managed to make it work with the Windows XP x64 drivers, and it's still working - I'm writing from this computer). This computer then connects through an Ethernet cable directly on another laptop to share the Internet connection. This had been working for two months, and I made no significant changes to my computer recently. There are three laptops that connect here (obviously, one at a time) - one running Windows XP, another running Mac OS X and a third one running Windows Vista Ultimate. The laptop running Windows XP was only connected once or twice, and it used to work. The Windows Vista laptop was the one connected for most of the the time, and it also used to work seamlessly with the Internet. When I connected the Apple laptop, it *would* work fine with the Internet, but after disconnecting it and reconnecting the Vista laptop there was always a problem with the Internet which I can't exactly describe, even though I always managed to solve it somehow (messing around with the network connections in both the host and guest computers). Recently, I think I might've messed everything up, as the Internet now works only on the desktop PC - I've tried all three laptops, and none of them manages to connect to the Internet. After proceeding with a System Restore, I've managed to have the Windows Vista laptop and the host computer to identify each other under the "Network" window (Start » Network) - the shared printer (connected to the host) also works fine. The Internet connection, however, still doesn't work, no matter what I do. I've tried deleting the dial-up entry from the "Manage Network Connections" window and creating a new one with the same details, but still no success. Any suggestions? Thank you for your attention.

The ICS host is the desktop computer, the one connected to the Speedtouch
modem.

We have some issues with the host configuration. It doesn't have the default gateway in the host. Can the host access the internet?
