Ad-Hoc network unable to share internet connection
I am using two Dell Insprion 1520's. One of them has an internet connection
plugged into the Ethernet Port coming from an ADSL router. I have configured both laptops using the ad-hoc wizard and all seems to be in order and Internet Connection Sharing is turned on with both Laptops. All public file-sharing works without error however I am unable to get the 2nd Laptop to connect to the internet. In the Network Control Panel, I have two networks that appear. The ''Local Area Connection'' which shows access as being 'Local and Internet'. The other is 'Wireless Network Connection'which only shows access as being 'Local Only'. I don't understand because on the LAN Connected Laptop, I have ticked the box that says ''Allow another computer to connect to the internet thru this computer. I gave Dell over four grand for these two computers and they refuse to help me as I don't appear to have a 'Technical Fault' and I would really appreciate any help I can get with this. Many Thanks
