Hi Everyone!

I need help with a problem with my home networking. My client computer seems to randomly stop connecting to the internet, however I can still access networking files and printer.

I only have one client computer, and a main host computer. I can still search internet on the host computer when this happens. My internet connection is via Ethernet Cable directly to the host computer, where the host computer connects to the Broadband modem via USB. This is really starting to annoy me, because we have to restart the host computer to resolve the problem.

Both computers are connected through network cards, and are both running Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Thanks, Mitch:)

the easiest thing to do is to get a router. ICS is known to be very problematic
