Can't enable internet sharing
I'm trying to enable my laptop's internet sharing option but for some reason the option doesn't appear. I've searched for an answer but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Hopefully someone here will have the answer. I'm using Windows XP. I click on Control Panel then Network Connections. I then right click on Wireless Network Connection, select Properties, and then the Advanced tab. The enable internet sharing option should be here from what I understand but the Windows Firewall is the only option I see. If more information is needed from me to be able to answer my question please let me know.

If I remember correctly the internet shareing option only appears after SP2. What Service Pack are you Running?
