Do you have a firewall on?
If not try downloading zone alarm.
before that you might want to turn on windows firewall.
Start>control panels> windows firewall

 

I dont think you understand,I cant even find an internet icon because (the two computers linked) well its not there lol.I cant click to connect to any internet because its no on my comp.And what did turning firewall on do?And whats that program you told me to download (wich I can :-( ) do as well?

thanks
