    Hi, currently trying to share my 3 mobile broadband connection on my vista laptop with my xp desktop.

    I've got a network cable going from the laptop to the desktop and have set up the basic network ok i.e. I can see shared files and folders on both machines. Windows media centre works fine too.

    I've got the 3 mobile broadband connection shared. It all works fine for xbox live when I have the 360 hooked up to the laptop, it can see the internet no problems. Windows media centre works fine here too.

    But the XP desktop won't see the internet. I only have the one thing (xbox or xp desktop) connected to the laptop at any one time.

    Any comments, pointers? Its probly a simple setting buried somewhere, but I've been at it now for a bit with no joy.
