I have recently installed a wireless network (Linksys WUSB11 wireless network adapter) to my main PC and my laptop (realtek wireless card), I can see all the printers, share directories etc and this seems to be okay. However since I set this up I can no longer access the internet through my main PC, the ICS is setup and the dial-up will connect to my ISP (BTOpenworld Broadband 512kbps) the ICF is enabled for this connection, when I read the firewall log, it states that it is dropping the packets to the IP address of the ISP so I am suspecting that it is the firewall part that is messing it up, however when I switch the ICF off, I still cannot get to the internet, my next step was to delete this dialup and create a new connection, again same results!

I have since plugged the modem into my laptop and can get to the internet (hence this post!), this connection was set-up in exactly the same way with the ICF switched on, I did not share this connection and it is working okay, I went back to my main PC, created a new dialup that had no firewall and no shares, same issue!

Has anyone experienced this? Could anyone please suggest solutions? Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

check your filtering settings for tcp/ip.
properties of tcp/ip -> Advanced button -> Options Tab -> select tcp/ip filtering and click properties.
Default is set to permit all for all three. and 'Enable TCP/IP Filtering' is unchecked. I have seen many strange problems with this turned on on systems.
