Hi

I am after buying a laptop which I am trying to network with my desktop computer to share my broadband connection. The network is up and running. I can access shared folders from both computers. but I cannot access my internet connection from my laptop. The internet connection icon is even apearing in my laptop's network connections folder under Internet Gateway and says connected but I cannot access any sites. Does anybody have any ideas what might be the problem. Both computers are running Windows XP Home edition.

Thanks
John.
