I have set up an home internet connection sharing with windows XP on the lead, only to find out that the modem type and driver were wrong.
When I querry the modem it tells me that the device is working correctly and has no conflict problems. I still could not connect to the intenet
Why would windows XP ignore the actual modem card instaed and pick up a non-existant one and istall it????????

thanks

My XP Pro has done similar funky things like that... Heck, it installed some hardware that I do not own (or can even afford to buy for that matter).
Try removing that modem form System Properties and manually install your correct one.
