Hi

I am setting up my desktop to share its internet connection over a wireless
network. When I run the wizard all goes well, it sets the connection to
shared but at the end says an error has occurred and cancels the shared
status of the connection.

Any suggestions what might be causing this. I have tried turning AVG off
and closing all progs etc, even rebooted. It tells me to run the setup
manually but I cant find where I set the connection to shared.

Advice appreciated.

Gary

Hi
Configure the Sharing Manually
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
