A friend of mine is trying to establish internet connection sharing on an XP machine. He has an Intel broadband 'modem' which connects to his computer through the USB port. Everything seems to work OK until he attemps to connect to the internet; then the computer 'freezes'. We think the fault lies with the USB connection. Any ideas!

Had this same problem with my Uncle's laptop/desktop combo. Seems ICS doesn't "dial" the USB modem correctly. Try using a 3rd party app like Wingate. That fixed it for him.

I tried a one months' trial version of Wingate. It was a little fiddly to configure but eventually it worked just fine.
