Activating netowrk discory and file sharing makes internet stop working
Hi, I have 4 pcs, all taking to each other via tcp/ip on the network, all fine. They can access each others files, etc.

One pc is connected to a wireless internet. If I share the internet connection (connects to other 3 via LAN, so im enabling shared internet connection in the LAN propities), no pc, including the pc connected via the wireless, can get the internet.

I did have all pcs connecting to the internet, but as soon as I set file sharing and netowrk discory to "on", thats when the internet stopped working.

Any ideas?

thanks

If you have this hooked up to a router and that is connected to the modem, then you don't need ICS enabled. Disable it.
