Hi
With the money that you would save on "head aches" medication , you can
buy a Wireless Router (many on sale for less than $30).
Better Wireless Better Network, no need to keep the two computers on while
using only one.

no. i cant even ping or access other computers on my lan. though i can
access them frm my host. this prob forces me to think that the only
connection working is that between the host n client. ics is not working n im
sure i v enabled it since my client is mentioning it as an internet
gateway.....
