Ok, problem number 2. I want to be able to share files with my roommates WinMe system. I know I need to have ICS enabled and I have tryed enabling it on his. But the problem is I can't even get the two systems to talk together. Now, under the Network and Dial-up Connections it shows (0 Icons). Not even a Start Networking Icon. I have a dial-up connection and the only way I can get it to work is by starting up Internet explorer. And then, I can only disconnect if I close the explorer window as a network connection is not shown in the bottom right. As for that, the option is checked, and I have unchecked it and checked it again. As for the N & D connections window. I know if I could see the Network card's properties, it would be a lot easlier. To add to this, the network card has a given IP, and I will need to be able to change that when I get DSL this week. Is this a registry error? I don't get a missing file error when I open the screen. I know this is a lot of information, and jumbled. I will explain better if someone needs me to.
