How to delete wireless connection from xp system
I have an XP Home Edition system that has an existing wireless networkwork
connection. I have connected this PC to another PC with an ethernet crossover cable and set up Interenet Connection Sharing but the original wireless connection seems to be preventing the ICS from working, even if I disable the wireless connection on the client. When I right click on the wireless connection the option to delete is grayed out. There must be another way to delete the connection but I cannot discover how. Any help would be much appreciated.

How to delete wireless connection from xp system
I have already done that. The fact that the connection is still there is
causing the interference with ICS.

Right-click the crossover connection, select "Properties", "Advanced", then check the "Internet Connection Sharing" box and click "OK". Ben

How to delete wireless connection from xp system
The problem is resolved. The disabled wireless connection was not
interfering. The problem was that contrary to Microsoft documentation Ithe ICS does not seem to work when I specify a static address on the client end. It started working when I changed it to obtain an address automatically. Perhaps it would have worked if I were going through a router rather than through an Ethernet crossover cable. Don't know about that. I may try it when I add a third computer and router later in the year. However, thanks to all for the replies.
