Network connection oh not again

[Saltrock]

This is an on goning thing I am sure.

I have had the most fun trying to configure an XP home
network. I do not if you are aware that the wizard is not
really that good as I had to do this manually with some
tweaking.
However, I have a broadband connection via USB. I have set
the ICS. I have a crossover cable pluged into the LAN
connection on this machine and the other end into my
Notebook. Setting up the static IP addresses between the
two computers is fine. I just cannot connect to the
internet through the notebook. Do I need to set a specific
Gateway, DNS or the like on the notebook or should this
work as is. Both computers can communicate fine but just
doesnot see the residential gateway.

This is the first time I have used this and used it I have
so any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Allow the Notebook to acquire an address automatically. Computer 1 (with
ICS) will lease an address to the Notebook, probably 192.168.0.2. Computer
1 will acquire the address 192.168.0.1. Setting a Gateway address should
not be necessary.
