I've just bought a Belkin network card for my dad's PC and installed it, so that he can share my broadband connection using ICS. I've been sharing this connection successfully with my brothers PC so I know that it works. However, after a few attempts, I managed to get my dads's PC (Which is running XP) connection to the internet, but it is EXTREMELY slow, like 1kbps so is in essence not working. Also, in the network places, there is no icon for the shared internet connection like there is on my bro's PC. I've run the network connection wizard many times, but no luck. I ran IPCONFIG from the cmd promt, which all looks normal, in any case it's the same as my brothers but with a different IP obviously. Has anyone had any problems like this?
I'm running SP2 on mine and my brothers, but just XP on my dad's. Will this affect it? Any clues will be greatfully appreciated, reps for anyone that can help.
Thanks.
Also forgot to say, I am using a cable modem router but I turned it into a switch for ICS. I can't use it as a router cos I have ADSL and it's a cable router.
