Setup Wireless connection using Belkin card not a router

I have internet connection to Telewest cable and there own cable
connects to a modem and my PC is connected to the modem with a RJ45
cable.

I have just bought a BELKIN High Speed Mode Wireless G Desktop Network
Card and installed into my PC to give me wireless technology.

I have a work laptop which has WIFI, what I would like to do is use my
work laptop and access the Internet using my home PC with Belkin card
as a Gateway/router to the Internet.

I have gone through a few setup's but cannot get access to the
internet, the connections between the laptop and my home PC say
'Connected'.

Anyone have anyideas on what I can check or additional setup required.

Have you enabled Internet Connection Sharing on your home PC? This is
necessary to forward the data from the PC to the Internet.

I would have strongly advised getting a Wireless Access Point instead of the
Wireless card for the PC. Perhaps a bit more expensive but you would not
need to have your Home PC on to access the internet.

The Internet Connection Sharing is enabled on the LAN connection
(Network Connections status is connected, shared).

Yes you are probably right about the Wireless Access Point but it
should not be this much of a pain to get this setup.

I have also setup my home PC as the same domain (workgroup) as my work
but still no working.

I have never needed to use Internet Connection Sharing having always
followed my own advice and provided a WAP for wireless connections so my
basic diagnosis questions may be slightly off the mark. The problem is
nothing to do with workgroups at this stage. That will only affect file
sharing.

Bring up a command window (Start/Run/ and type CMD).

Then type ipconfig /all on both your computers and let us see what IP
configuration you have. We would need to look at the IP addresses allocated
to each interface and at the default gateway setting on both computers. I am
sure someone who has used ICS will know whet these should be otherwise I can
probably make a very good guess!

We may also need to look at any firewall settings on both computers as these
might be blocking access.

Is your laptop set up for getting its IP address automatically? Ipconfig
will tell us

Look at the IP addresses and see if the ping command works both ways. Ask
for more detailed instructions if you don't know what the ping commend is.

If this works then
Try pinging the cable modem internal IP address from both computers.

If this works then
Try pinging www.google.com from both computers.

Good luck

Yes I have set the 'This computer connects to internet others go
connect through it'.

I will try all the pings tonight, what I did notice is that if you
issue a Route Print command there is no Defaultnet on my Laptop. but
there is on my Home PC which has the link to the Internet.

I have unistalled the Belkin software and card, deleted all definitions
and started again.

This time installed Belkin software, then the card, defined my network
and tried to connected and still unable to connected from my laptop,
disconnected ZONE ALARM firewall software and !!!!!!! IT ALL
WORKS....TERRIFIC.!!!!!!!..

Now is the issue tryng to get it to work with ZoneAlarm firewall
software.

I found running zonealarm while installing my router etc was better.
Any time something never worked the way I wanted it to I just looked in the
logs of Zonealarm and enabled what it had denied. If you know what I mean!
