ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).

Has anyone tried doing this?
I am, unfortunately on dial-up and I want to add a wireless router for my
Laptop to be able to access the Internet through the main computer (Home Base
Computer). Basically I have the Phone cable to the main PC (Normal
Connection to the net). I have a CAT5 from the main PC networking card to the
D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router.
Theoretically, the Laptop will be able to contact the router and the
information goes through the main PC Internal Modem., sharing . With the
router hooked up it seems to be doing it's job. The laptop can see a perfect
signal to the router but can't sync to it. I also want to be able to Network
with the main computer so I can print. I can see the microsoft versions of
Networking configurations but none seem to work.
If anyone has tried the same set-up and got it working, please let me know.
I'll keep trying, day 2.
