In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

Why are you using ICS? If you want to connect another computer through the laptop, I'd just bridge the two connections.

[sixguitarstring]

i want to use it so i can plug my xbox 360 into it and use my laptop as a wireless adapter.

How would i go about bridging the connections?

[johnwill]

Open Network connections, hold Ctrl to select both connections you want to bridge, right click on them, and select Bridge.

IT WORKED!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

gee i wish i had done that first.

THANK YOU!

No problem, there's always more than one way to skin a cat.
