need help with ICS problem

Ok, so I have two computers at home, my desktop and my laptop. I ran the network setup on both computes, and they are both on the same workgroup. I can play lan games and all that just fine.

As soon as I enable Internet connection sharing on my desktop, it f***s up the work group, when I go to view workgroup computers, there is none there.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated as this problem is p*****g me off to no end.

buy a $30 router

they are both connected to eachother via wireless router.

His point was if you get a router you won't need to use ICS. Come to think of it, if you have a wireless router, why ARE you using ICS? Neither computer is the gateway to the internet; the router should have the uplink on it, with the two computers talking independently to the router.

I only have 56k that I have to dial in with from my desktop.

I thought I mentioned that in my first post, but after reading it again I didn't, sorry about that
