ICS not working properly

Good afternoon;
I did a clean install on my laptop after putting in a new Hard drive. Before
I had ICS working between a windos 98 conputer, my desktop, XP Pro and My
laptop, XP Pro. When I set it up again after the install I must have done
something wrong. I now havwe the 98 computer off. For the other two,
I can see both computers in the laptop and in the desktop.
I can access the shared folders from my desktop computer name through my
laptop xp but I can't access the shared folders from my laptop computer
name using my desktop. The group is the same for both. The computer names
are unique and appear in both. I ran the floppy auto configuration disk in
both. I am showing a bridged connection "Internet gateway" in both computers
as well as the Lan connections.
I am running through a D-link D624 wirekess router. M y laptop uses a Belkin
54g wireless USB adapter and the desktop is connected through ethernet.
Any suggestions?
How can I either repir the ICS or completely remove it from both computers
and stsrt again?

Hi.

CS is a NAT Software use to Route the Internet signal to the correct
computer.

Since you have a Wireless Cable/DSL Router you Do Not Need, and Should Not
use ICS. Switch it Off.

The Router will do the Routing. Get rid of the Bridged connection and do
not use any setup disk. Configure manually (read the Router's manual).

Hi Jack;

What's the easiest way to get rid of the bridge? I tried deleting it but it
comes back.

Also, how do I turn ICS off?

Regards
Phil
