K, Need some help, here's the deal:

I Have:
2 computers
1 with Rogers Internet hooked up
2 network cards in the one with Rogers
1 network card in the other
Windows ME on both
Full File and Print Sharing - Working on both

However, when i try to get ICS (Internet Connection Sharing-New feature in win ME) to actually work, Print and File sharing doesn't work! But ICS won't work With Print and File sharing (at the same time)

Can anyone suggest anything? Any sites that may help?etc?

First off, hope you are running a software firewall. ME is an extremely insecure OS.

Secondly, in an attempt to address the above, M$ disables file and print sharing when using ICS. Try going into the network settings and enabling it manually. Then unbind it from the TCP/IP protocol and bind it to NetBeui. That will help protect your files from the net.

Worth a shot
