Help!, Maybe doesn't belong here

Maybe this doesn't belong here but is there anybody here who falls under the category "networking guru"?? I'm in sore need of one. I really badly want to get back on line but the connection sharing is buggered up as well as my actual connection which is weird because it worked before I formatted...
If anybody has some tips or needs details in my problem, e-mail me over crn or icq me (details below my post) these are the two mediums I can access best atm...

I would be glad for anything

Aon

may you tell me the details?
if you're using ICS under XP, you MUST install SP1

Don't know how much you've done or not done, and it's been ages since I set up ICS in windows (And that was on 2k server) However, on the client end it should be simply the matter of setting the sharing box as your default gateway, and plugging your DNS server IP addresses in as appropriate.

Although I will say that when I went to DSL, I had to adjust the MTU on my client machines to 1450 instead of the default 1500. at 1500 I could access some sites, but not all. it was spotty as to what I could or could not access. I've never had any problem at 1450.

Guess this answers why Aon wasn't around much and/or making any progress on Scottish2 as top poster!!
