In the configure internet sharing step... an error message appears when i try to allow other network users to connect through..bla bla bla..the error says: "an error ocurred while internet connection sharing was being enabled"... what do i need to do??

btw..im using W. Vista

What was the rest of the error message (if anything)?

A quick google on just what you gave turns up IP address conflicts and firewall issues.

Internet Connection Sharing will use the IP 192.168.0.1 for the wired network port of your PC. Do you have a static IP set on that network card (Local Area Connection)? If so, you may need to set it to get it's IP and DNS automatically.

Is your router using 192.168.0.1? While I'm sure you can probably work around this if that is its IP, its probably easier to just change it to 192.168.1.1. If you don't want to change it then I'd need to know what IP addresses your PC is using. You can find this out by clicking Start > Type "cmd" then press Enter. In the black command prompt window that pops up, type "ipconfig /all". Post your results here or PM them to me on http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/

As for your firewall, are you using something other than Windows Firewall? (ZoneAlarm, COMODO, OneCare, etc). Try disabling it if its currently enabled, or enabling it if its currently disabled.

Thats about all I can suggest without knowing more about your particular situation. Get me some more info and I'll help you get set up correctly.

Updated the guide with port forwarding information.
