You stated you have a broadband connection. Why are you sharing dial up you
do not have a dial up connection. On your main PC,go to contol panel/wireless
setup and transfer wizard and follow the prompts.

By "sharing my dialup", just what do you mean? ICS? Let's back up just a
bit, and find out what you do have.

How does the desktop make the Internet connection; USB modem? Ethernet
modem? Do you have a router? Or are you just running a wireless network
adapter in the desktop?

i have a usb adsl modem on my desktop and a Belkin wireless network adapter
..the laptop has built in wireless network . i have ran through the ICS setup
on both and as i say i have a network connection and can share files also i
can see my broadband connection on the laptop but cant use it

You only run ICS on one computer. You share the adapter connection to the
USB ADSL modem. You share no other adapter, and you do not run ICS on any
other computer.
