Problems setting up network/wireless

I am trying to set up network for a Nintendo wireless WIFI adapter. One of
the steps in setting it up is to set up ICS. I cant do this. I have
followed everything in the help and support center. I followed the
directions here:

To configure Internet options for Internet Connection Sharing
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, click Never dial a connection, and then click LAN
Settings.
In Automatic configuration, clear the Automatically detect settings and Use
automatic configuration script check boxes.

I did that.

Next I am supposed to run the "Network SeT Up Wizard"

Whenever I try to run this it just freezes. Then I get program not
responding message.

I have also tried as per the Nintendo troubleshooting instructions to open
the local area connections. When I try to set the ISC to allow other
computers to use this connection. I get an error message that says. "An
error occured while ICS was beeing enabled. The specified service does not
exist as an installed service."

I cant figure it out. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jack. I went to the site. I followed what it said to do. Part of
the instructions is to run the Network SeT Up Wizard. But it just keeps
freezing. Any other ideas?

Hi

It would help to solve your problem if you describe the rest of your
Network.

In addition, consider using a Wireless Router instead of software NAT.

Thanks Jack for the help. The problem was there was something wrong with my
Windows Firewall. I had to reset it. I got help from this forum (different
subject). I did get it working.
