I want to network PC #2 (Windows 7) with PC #1 (Windows XP Pro)..with both systems having internet access.

Right now, PC #1 has internet access via wireless. PC's #1 and #2 can see each other on the network.

I ran the ICS wizard on PC #1 and on PC #2, but PC #2 spit out an error...

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

Yeah ICS is a POS

Just bridge the two networks in the Adapter "Change adapter settings" list. Just make sure it'll work properly as one big network... IE only one DHCP server, same subnet, etc...

I set it up with ICS and it's working fine- I tried bridging the adapters (prior to ICS) and I lost my internet connection. :confused:

woot!
