Networking with XP Home & Windows 2000

I have a home network using XP Home as my main computer. I am trying to
configure a Windows 2000 Professional computer to access the internet
wirelessly from my XP Home computer.

I have enabled ICS in my XP Home computer and my Windows 2000 computer shows
it connection, but the LAN activity has packets sent and nothing received.

My taskbar on my Windows 2000 shows as though I am connected, but no web
pages pull up.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Let's look at "ipconfig /all" from both computers.
