Dear jeffrey, I tried the ICS to no avail, I have tried a new connection,
and all I get is that the wireless connection is only local and not local and internet...this gives me only limited connectivity...(no internet on the XP laptop)..I was able, the first time I set up a wireless connection, to get on the internet on the XP laptop through the VISTA laptop wired connection. I know that this works but am unable to do this again..I am doing something wrong!!! "Jeffrey Randow" wrote: Yep..
