also Note.



you are ics the wireless connection.

hopefully you are logged in as the administrator of the computer.

if for some resaon you decide to upgrade to Win XP or above MAKE sure you have the latest BIOS on the laptop and that it will support Xp or above ..

also newest service pack for that Win 2000

Your comments above

"you are trying to ICS 2 connections

the wireless connection to the ethernet connection"

the answer to that is Yes i need to click the sharing tab for both correct so they use one IP address? correct?

you need to do this while you are in front of it ..

also make sure what service pack u have on the win 2000

start >settings>control panel>system and in that tab it will tell u what service pack you have you should be @ 4

in the same screen click hareware tab> device manager and make sure there are no RED or yellow x's or the like
